When it comes to tenacity, no one in the 2018 NBA Draft has more of it than former Alabama PG Collin Sexton.
That drive to succeed, along with his spectacular ball-handling and scoring skills, made him an enticing candidate for NBA teams.
On Thursday night, he finally found out where he’d be playing this fall, going to the Cleveland Cavaliers with the No. 8 overall pick.
Of course, the big question is whether superstar F LeBron James will still be there when the 2018-19 season tips off. However, even if LeBron leaves, the Cavs got a potential new star in Sexton.
In 33 games with the Crimson Tide in 2017-18, Sexton averaged 19.2 points, 3.8 rebounds and 3.6 assists. He also showed he’s not afraid of big moments, turning in several clutch plays for Alabama.
