2018 NBA Mock Draft 9.0

If any one of Young, Gilgeous-Alexander or Sexton is available, the Clippers are likely to jump on the opportunity to draft them. Lacking a long-term solution at point guard, L.A. could opt to start a rebuild of their own around the Alabama dynamo.

Sexton has some glaring red flags on the court, but he does have one thing going for him: his work ethic. Both on and off the court, he has always garnered praise as somebody who works hard and puts all his energy into the game. He’s somebody who can lead a locker room.

An explosive athlete who uses his strong frame to absorb contact and finish downhill, Sexton will need to become a more willing passer at the next level. He also needs to work on his three-point shot, as his current mechanics will likely yield streaky, inconsistent results.
