13. Collin Sexton, 22, Cleveland Cavaliers

Through the first three years of his career, Collin Sexton has been extremely productive for the Cleveland Cavaliers. In his best season to date, Sexton averaged 24 points and three assists on 48 percent shooting from the field and 37 percent shooting from 3-point range.

Sexton is an absolute weapon on the offensive end and probably needs to improve a bit as a playmaker but he has the potential to be considered a “star” in the not-so-distant future. It’s interesting that the Cavs are open to dealing him.

Sexton is young and fits the modern definition of a guard. It’ll be interesting to see if he can develop beyond just a weapon on the offensive end.
