Where Sexton needs to improve for the Cavs: Playmaking/tunnel vision

Collin Sexton has been the most polarizing player over this Cavaliers rebuild. Despite being the team’s best and most consistent scorer, people still question the Young Bull’s abilities.

A quick rant — the hate on Sexton does not make sense. Day in and day out, he has fought hard for the Cavs whatever the outcome. He is the closest thing the team has to an All-Star and should be treated as one. Lastly, the sixth-man takes make no sense, so stop those.

The biggest gripe with Sexton during his career has been his playmaking and tunnel vision. Though Sexton has improved this area every year, there are still times where he could be better. Sexton has shown that he can be a 5-6 assist per game player as after criticism in regards to his playmaking, he would average 5.9 assists per game over the team’s last eight games.

Sexton’s playmaking and tunnel vision isn’t a burden on him anymore but rather something that he can look to make some minor improvements to.

His playmaking should be able to improve as the Cavaliers add more talent to the roster and as that happens, the stigma that surrounds the Young Bull should go away.
