But in the end, the Cavaliers chose sexton, a freshman point guard from the University of Alabama. Why did the Cavaliers choose such a point guard instead of Potter? This is all because Porter was the top scholar before his injury, but he suffered a back injury. He only played three games during his freshman year, and his performance in the team test was not perfect, so the Cavaliers finally chose to give up Porter, and Porter was not selected until 14 draft pick.
The Cavaliers chose sexton, on the one hand, because sexton has a good ability to finish the game and excellent athletic talent, which can make up for his lack of physical confrontation. At the same time, sexton came to Cleveland to participate in the Cavaliers' trial training immediately after this year's finals, which left a good impression on Tyrone Lu and the Cavaliers' management.
Sexton is also a very confident player. After he was selected, he talked to LeBron from a distance. He said loudly to the camera: "LeBron, stay, let's go back to the finals together, together!" " I don't know what James thought when he heard this, but sexton's performance really satisfied both the James team and the Cavaliers, so there is no doubt that the Cavaliers finally chose him.
