Collin Sexton scraped the floor like a bull, dribbled past Nikola Jokic and finished with the layup
Utah Jazz guard Colin Sexton lived up to his ‘Young Bull’ nickname in the season opener against the Denver Nuggets. During the 4th quarter, Sexton scraped the floor with his foot before driving past Nikola Jokic for the layup. This play was just one highlight from Sexton’s fantastic game.
Colin Sexton showed out in his season opener, dropping 20 points, 2 assists and 5 rebounds in just 21 minutes. Sexton led the Jazz to an unlikely win over the Denver Nuggets.
Sexton was involved in the trade that sent Donovan Mitchell to Cleveland and has a lot to prove this year. The 23-year-old guard was set to be a rather big part of the Cleveland Cavalier’s future before tearing his meniscus last year. Sexton suffered the injury just 11 games into the 2021-22 NBA season and was forced to miss the rest of it to recover.
The Utah Jazz is looking to keep Sexton for now with the potential to build around him. In addition to this, they may also look to build Sexton’s value and trade him in the near future.
Will Colin Sexton be an All-Star this season?
Collin Sexton will have a huge first season with the Utah Jazz. The Jazz will need a guard to fill Mitchell’s shoes and Sexton looks like the one who will do it. Sexton is likely to have a great statistical season but will not be named an All-Star this year.
The Utah Jazz is going to lose a lot of games this season and Sexton will be putting up empty statistics. Sexton will be looking to prove himself to both the Jazz and contending teams.
Sexton may be involved in trade talks near the trade deadline with contenders looking to bolster their offense. It’ll be an interesting season to watch from Collin Sexton.
