While Collin Sexton is still working out some growing pains, he has shown some flashes of brilliance in the NBA. Especially when he had the Cavs’ point guard position to himself after Darius Garland got hurt at the end of the year.

The Knicks might have to give up a decent package for Sexton’s services, but it might be worth it to continue to build young, exciting pieces to an up-and-coming Knicks team.

The NBA is simply a better league when the New York Knicks are competitive. And Collin Sexton might fill a rather large void for the team.
