2. What will Collin Sexton bring in year one?

For most top-10 picks, their rookie season already brings with it plenty of hype to live up to.

Collin Sexton, however, has the added pressure of being picked by his fellow first-years as the likeliest — tied with Deandre Ayton — to win the Rookie of the Year award.

Whether he wins ROY or not isn’t indicative of the type of career Sexton will have in the NBA, but such a performance — or something close to it — would be great for a fanbase in need of something to cheer for right now.

Given the lack of primary ball-handlers on the Cavs, Sexton will certainly have his chances to play to the strengths that made him a top selection.

With a Russell Westbrook-like attack mentality, there will certainly be a fair dosage of ups and downs for the one they call Young Bull, which should lead to a wild inaugural season for what fans hope can be a foundational piece moving forward.
