Collin Sexton Rumors

If anyone is wondering how the veteran guard feels less than a month after being dealt to the Charlotte Hornets from the Utah Jazz, the bouncy nature of Sexton’s steps is a dead giveaway. And that’s just on the exterior. Inside, it’s downright obvious he’s nearly ready to burst. “Super excited,” Sexton said during a chat with The Observer. “Super grateful for the opportunity. Ready to come in and help build the culture, and just be a leader right away. I feel like the last couple of weeks practicing and stuff, it’s been a lot of fun but also getting used to the guys.”

“I’m excited for a new opportunity, a new beginning, to come in, be a leader right away and help any way possible,” said Sexton in an exclusive interview with Hornets.com. “I was super excited [when I heard about the trade] and ready to get here. I talked to Coach Lee and Jeff [Peterson] on the phone, and you could tell they were both super, super pumped. It’s a family environment. You can tell all the guys want to be here. Whenever you have an organization that guys want to be [around] during the summer, it says a lot.”

The Jazz also have internal decisions to make with their current backcourt. Collin Sexton and Jordan Clarkson are entering the final year of their contracts and are considered trade candidates to monitor this summer, sources tell RG. A contending team seeking an instant scoring punch would be the strongest fit for either Sexton or Clarkson, and Utah has explored scenarios. The Jazz will be a team to keep an eye on ahead of free agency as a result.
