Sexton now joins LeBron James, Austin Carr and Bingo Smith as the only Cavaliers players to achieve this feat.

Sexton’s first few games have put him in rarified Cavaliers’ air. He has shown that he is one of the brightest young prospects in the NBA today. Over his past 6 games, Sexton has averaged 26 points a game and been the leading scorer for the Cleveland Cavaliers throughout this season.

Sexton joined the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2018 as the number 8 pick in the draft. His rookie season was a strong one as he was one of the shining stars for the Cavaliers after the departure of LeBron James to the Los Angeles Lakers.

Colin Sexton – future of the Cavaliers

Despite the Cavs’ poor season, Sexton still made the NBA All-Rookie second team thanks to his wonderful performances. The following season, Sexton had a better season in scoring. He averaged 20 points per game as compared to the previous season’s 16 points per game.

But it appears as though Sexton has taken a big leap this season. His performances will be encouraging for Cavaliers fans who have endured two difficult seasons since the departure of LeBron James.

But if Sexton could continue his form, the Cavaliers may have found a star who can help them return to prominence this year.

While it is still early days, there are a lot of positives to take away from Sexton’s play. Over six games, he has shown consistency in his play and could help the Cavaliers team possibly earn a playoff position.
