Sexton has worked out for teams picking as high as the Magic at No. 6, and there seems to be a more-than-solid chance that he comes off the board in the top 10. Teams love his shot-making and competitiveness. I just don’t see it.

There are definitely positive traits in Sexton’s game. He’s a strong, explosive athlete who is a handful when working downhill. He has a quick first step and is an absolute terror in transition, with the strength needed to absorb contact and finish at the rim.

Where Sexton falls short is efficiency. He’s not a great shooter and he doesn’t create for others at a high level, something you want from a top-10 point guard. He feels more like an inefficient, volume-based scorer than a perennial All-Star.
