Strengths

Quick-twitch athlete with excellent burst in the open court with solid leaping ability.
Always willing to attack downhill in transition, using his quickness, change of speed, change of direction, and aggressiveness.
Main selling point is slashing; Great body control in the air to shield the ball from defenders, avoid blocks, and draw fouls; can finish with either hand.
Very crafty scorer; Has a variety of hesitations, in and out, and other advanced dribble moves in his arsenal.
Streaky but dangerous shooter; Defenders tend to sag to account for his slashing ability, which frees up mid-range pull-ups and three-pointers
Has that take over mentality in clutch situations; seemingly unstoppable when on fire; scores in bunches.
Plays with poise and confidence, something not often seen in players, or more specifically lead guards, his age (32.9% usage rate per realgm);

Weaknesses

Plays out of control at times; Attacks the basket with his head down and will often force the situation.
Not the tallest or lengthiest guard; average strength/weight apparent in his so-so 61.7% conversion rate at the basket.
Very ball dominant; Has limited court vision in that he can make simple passes but prefers to take the shot himself if possible.
Has been a subpar defender at the college level; Lacks defensive fundamentals; not focused on closeouts and does not always get into defensive position.
Does not project to have much versatility on defense as he does not have the size or defensive IQ at this point to guard bigger players.

Observations

Shines in the big games; Outscored Minnesota while down 2 players (3 vs. 5) in the final 10 minutes of the game; Ended the game with 40 points.
Outshined the best PG in the nation, Trae Young, in his matchup against Oklahoma; Limited Young to his second lowest scoring game of the season.
As a freshman, Sexton was the leader of a good Alabama team that made it to the second round of the NCAA tournament; His poise and leadership throughout the season speak volume to his character and intangibles.
Has the third worst defensive rating among Alabama’s rotation players; Heavy offense responsibilities can interrupt Sexton’s defensive focus.
