Summary: Colin Sexton is perhaps one of the most interesting players in the NBA Draft and perhaps a direct foil to other draft prospect Trae Young. Colin will come into the league as slasher, but he needs to work on his overall jumper consistency and court vision if he wants to take his game to the next level. If he can improve on those things, a player like him with his mental makeup will be a star.

Looking at the Tape:
In this gif, you see Colin you his active hands on defense and maneuver through the transition defense to finish strong at the rim. This shows off his defensive prowess and fast-break skills.
In this one, you can see him completely rush a shot and show off his inconsistent shooting ability. He needs to work on slowing it down and improve his shooting mechanics.
