The Cleveland Cavaliers lost to the Miami Heat with a final score of 100-124 to have a record of 4-10 to start the season.

While their record may not be all that great, one player is continuing to grow into what may be the next young star.

Former Alabama guard Collin Sexton has been putting up solid numbers in the wins and the losses.

In the loss against Miami, Sexton had 19 points and two rebounds.

So far in the 14 games played in the 2019 – 2020 season, Sexton averages 18 points per game, two assists, three rebounds and a field goal percentage of just over 44 percent.

While his name may be hidden due to the Cavaliers’ poor performances or drowned out because of the many young stars all over the league, his talent has not gone unrecognized within the organization.

Cavaliers head coach John Beilein claims that Sexton is developing into something special.

“He’s learning how to play. He’s 20 years old. He’s playing against some really good players every single day. We’re hoping that he grows daily to just be a really good backcourt player,” says Beilein, “I think last year, probably a scorer who could play point guard, but if he can ever get to be able to do both, have the mentality either way, that’s a special player.”

David Zavac, of “Fear The Sword,” argues that Sexton has the “strength and athleticism” to be a difference maker on this Cleveland team.

Zavac argues that with Sexton’s continued growth, he could be a new key play-maker on the team not named Kevin Love or Tristan Thompson.

There is plenty of time left in Sexton’s sophomore season to show signs of strong improvement, and even establish a presence on the national level across the league.

Even if the 2019-2020 season is only a small stepping stone in the right direction to what will hopefully become a long and successful career in the NBA.
