NBA 2018/19: 3 best performing Cleveland Cavaliers players of the season so far

#2 Collin Sexton

Sexton looks to be a good draft pick

Collin Sexton has been impressive this season, despite the difficult circumstances surrounding his rookie year. The 20-year-old was selected by the Cavaliers with the 8th pick of the 2018 NBA draft, and the youngster has faced the extra scrutiny of being the teams first draft pick since the departure of 14-time All-Star, LeBron James.

After the point guard struggled during his first few games, some critics prematurely labelled Sexton as a bust, although he has since silenced critics, and Sexton enjoyed a particularly strong December. During a run of three games against the Golden State Warriors, Washington Wizards and Sacramento Kings, Sexton scored at least 20 points in each game, while shooting 50 percent from the field.

For the season, Sexton is now averaging 14.6 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 2.8 assists, and the young guard looks as though he will play a major part in the Cavs future.
