Collin Sexton continues to move up rookie ranks in Cleveland Cavaliers’ 117-104 loss to Sacramento Kings

SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Collin Sexton can certainly score.
With his fourth bucket on Thursday night, Sexton joined LeBron James and Ron Harper as the only rookies in franchise history to tally at least 1,300 points. Sexton’s also one of 10 first-year players over the last decade to hit that mark.
The score-first guard finished with 19 points on 8-of-14 shooting and 3-of-5 from 3-point range against the Sacramento Kings. But it came in a loss once again as the Cavs dropped their seventh straight game, 117-104.
Led by sophomore De’Aaron Fox, who Sexton said he emulates and can learn plenty from heading into Year Two, the Kings put on an impressive offensive show. They shot 48-of-97 (49.5 percent) from the field, including 14-of-38 (36.8 percent) from 3-point range. The young, athletic Kings raced out for 21 fast-break points -- aided by Cleveland’s 22 miscues -- and dished out 28 assists against just seven turnovers.

Can Collin Sexton emulate De’Aaron Fox, follow his blueprint for second-year rise?

SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- At this time last year, Sacramento Kings rising sophomore De’Aaron Fox was one of the NBA’s worst players -- statistically speaking.
Fox ranked 503rd out of 521 players in ESPN’s Real Plus-Minus, a stat created to measure someone’s impact on team performance, tallied in net point differential per 100 offensive and defensive possessions. RPM takes into account teammates, opponents and additional factors.
In that specific category, Fox was lumped in with former first-round draft bust Ben McLemore, New York’s enigmatic Emmanuel Mudiay and defensive liability Isaiah Thomas. Fox’s net rating was -10.1, which means the Kings were more than 10 points worse per 100 possessions with the fifth-overall pick on the court. He didn’t make either of the All-Rookie teams.
Look at him now.
