10. Collin Sexton, PG, Alabama

I’m cooling off on Sexton, mainly due to his inconsistency. For somebody whose passion and aggressiveness is so heavily praised, his tendency to fade in and out of games is baffling. He’s too gifted to defer in Alabama’s offense.

Nonetheless, he’s still the most high-usage player in the SEC, with the Tide running just about every offensive set through him when able. His shot is off and on, but he’s shooting 39.1 percent from deep — a promising sign when you consider the concerns over his shooting before the season.

That improved shooting, combined with his strong finishing around the basket and improved feel as a playmaker, leaves Sexton in the top 10.
