Sexton has been a bit of a journeyman across his eight year NBA career which originally began with the Cleveland Cavaliers. But Sexton has always been a consistent offensive threat and provides energy off the bench.

Last season he did so with the Charlotte Hornets and Chicago Bulls after he was involved in a trade at the deadline.

He finished the season averaging 15.4 points and 3.3 assists on 48.5% shooting from the field and 40.1% shooting from three.
