NBA Draft prospect Collin Sexton is one of the few guard prospects expected to be selected in the lottery round.

Collin Sexton draws comparisons to many current NBA guards, but arguably his role model should be former OKC Thunder combo guard Victor Oladipo.

Collin Sexton was a five star point guard from the state of Georgia. Sexton held offers from blue bloods like Kansas, Arizona, Florida, and North Carolina out of high school. He elected to go to the University of Alabama, and receive coaching from a former-NBA coach of the year Avery Johnson. Sexton is now viewed as a lottery pick in the upcoming NBA draft.
