After his return, Sexton is averaging 22.1 points and four assists per game. More impressively, Sexton has quieted claims about how he can’t shoot threes by shooting threes at a 46.2 percent clip, whilst attempting 3.7 a game. Sexton has performed a lethal combination alongside John Petty.
Sexton brings a competitive edge to the game, he has the ability to switch the momentum like a flip of the switch. His attitude is the complete opposite to that of Lonzo Ball, as Sexton gets all up in his opponent’s face. He’s a type of player that everyone would like to have on their team.
If Sexton can continue this hot start, he’ll make a strong case for being selected in the top-five of the draft.
