When the Cleveland Cavaliers selected rookie point guard Collin Sexton with the eight pick in the 2018 NBA Draft, they weren’t trying choose a player that would be a mirror image of Kyrie Irving or fill the void left by LeBron James.
Such approaches are often foolish, especially when talking about two players from the most sensational era of Cavs basketball.
Sexton is a different breed of point guard than they’ve possibly ever had.
It’s true that he possesses the cold-blooded confidence of a player like Kyrie Irving and plays with the intensity reminiscent of a young Brevin Knight.
