Colin Sexton, Words and Things

By going to find Collin Sexton to be a substitute for LaMelo Balloften injured in recent years, the Hornets undoubtedly made a nice move. Charles Lee goes beyond the simple technical aspect and raves about the former Cleveland and Utah player’s influence in the locker room.

“Don’t be afraid to communicate”, notes Charlotte’s trainer. “Everyone already sees how hard he works every day, so he leads by example. When he wants to express himself, because he is passionate and competitive, he has earned the respect of others. That is why he can afford to be very honest and direct with them. They know that this is love, a competitive spirit, so they are very receptive.”

Obviously, the team needed a character capable of saying things. “The whole group is learning to communicate in a positive way to help us move in the right direction. I like what he’s done already”continues Charles Lee, who also highlights the intensity brought by his recruit.

The former jazzer, who with his seven seasons behind him is one of the most experienced members of the team, has slipped into this leadership role perfectly.

“Since I’ve been here, I haven’t tried to fit in, I’ve just been trying to be myself. That’s the most important thing, keep being myself and moving forward with confidence. Confidence brings leadership. Leading by example, I’ve been doing that since I got to the NBA and even in high school and college.”described by Collin Sexton. “That’s something the team needed. And I felt like I could make an immediate impact that way, with my leadership. When things go wrong, you need someone to pull it all together. That’s what I can do.”
