Cavaliers young guard Collin Sexton has shined in the last two games against the Nets, but when he first arrived at the Cavaliers, he was not welcomed by Cavaliers veterans.
According to a reporter from the Cavaliers official website, Sexton was the eighth pick of the Cavaliers in 2018. After he came to the team, some of the team’s veterans did not like this rookie from the University of Alabama.
“Some veterans hate him very much and feel sad that the team didn’t send away this draft pick in the 2017-18 season. They think they can use this pick to trade as a player and help the team win the championship.”
In the summer of 2018, the Cavaliers selected Sexton. At that time, James LeBron James also decided not to renew his contract with the Cavaliers, and instead went to Los Angeles to start a new journey.
Back then, those Cavaliers veterans who were still playing were LeBron, Kevin Love, JR Smith, George Hill, Channing Frye and Kyle Korver, but I don’t know which players hated Sexton and why.
Since the new season, Sexton has performed exceptionally well, averaging a career-high 26.8 points, 4.2 assists and 1.3 steals per game, and is among the best in the scoring rankings. He is the star of the Cavaliers.
