Collin Sexton scraped the floor like a bull, dribbled past Nikola Jokic and finished with the layup

Sexton was involved in the trade that sent Donovan Mitchell to Cleveland and has a lot to prove this 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.
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.
