The Cleveland Cavaliers and especially their fans loved Collin Sexton. He may have been gone for years, but it's still encouraging to watch him breathe new life into his career from afar.
Thursday night, the Charlotte Hornets played the Orlando Magic and their suffocating defense. LaMelo Ball and rookie Kon Knueppel were swarmed by opposing limbs and held to mediocre scoring totals. One player who did manage to break through? Collin Sexton.
Sexton led the Hornets with 19 points on 5-for-7 shooting from the floor and another six free-throws added on. His power and aggression getting to the rim draws contact, and he not only led the team in free throws but had the same number as the rest of the roster combined.
