Sexton, 27, said he studied tape of Smart's one-year Lakers tenure and envisioned himself stepping into a similar role as an energetic guard who can "impact winning." The 2018 lottery pick averaged 15.4 points, 2.9 rebounds and 2.5 assists for the Charlotte Hornets and Chicago Bulls last season. "I watched a lot of the playoffs," Sexton said. "I watched a lot of [Smart] over the years. "I watched a little bit of like Avery Bradley as well. How he was able to change the pace on defense. That was a while ago, but just watching him and his competitive nature, that's my guy." Sexton added: "I feel like those two guys have been able to really lock in. I think I can bring that to this team." https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/49352392/
Good summary by Tony Jones on him, who followed him in Utah Highlights: - Elite rim pressure by attacking the basket straight - bucket getter - can overplay when asked to do too much Seems like a great fit for what we want from the bench when Luka or AR are resting
