Who were some of the veterans who had the biggest impact on you and mentored you the most – whether it’s on or off the court. Collin Sexton: K-Love, Chris Paul and Coach Avery Johnson. Those guys, they’ve been where I want to get to. I just take bits and pieces of their game so that I can learn from them and understand the game even more. My relationship with Chris goes back to high school when I played on his teams (Team CP3). Ever since then, we’ve just been building that relationship. I talk to him every week and just pick his brain and figure out how he feels about certain plays and things that I can incorporate into my game. It’s cool.

Which point guards did you look up to the most when you were growing up? Collin Sexton: My favorites were Allen Iverson and Kobe Bryant. Those two are my guys. I got a chance to sit down with Kobe and talk to him for about 40-to-45 minutes, just picking his brain. It was cool. I’m [glad] that I got to meet him before the tragedy. But it was cool, just being able to sit down with Kobe Bryant – one of the best to ever play – and being able to ask him pretty much anything. We talked about everything.

Shams Charania: NBA Rising Stars roster update: Cleveland’s Collin Sexton is replacing Miami’s Tyler Herro on the U.S. team.
Second-year guard Collin Sexton suggested an alteration to the halftime routine so players could get back onto the court quicker for warmups, maybe around the five- or six-minute mark. Is that a start? Would that help? “Just get the legs going, the blood flowing,” Garland said. “That’s on us. We’re professionals. We’re grown men. It’s on us.”

Which raises another question: How did it get there? Most Cleveland players who spoke publicly yesterday said Beilein’s use of the word “thugs” didn’t jar them in the moment. Only Sexton said otherwise, and he added he wasn’t alone. “Everybody was shocked,” Sexton said.
