Collin Sexton

“Nobody ever gave me anything. Everything I got I had to work for.”

“I know what I can do and I know I can pass the ball. I know I can be a true point guard and I know I can score also.”

“Those are the moments people remember at the end of the game: You make a big shot. 'Yeah, he made a big shot.' I feel like those are the moments I work for and make sure I'm always ready for.”

“I love the criticism because if there was no criticism then what can you work on and what can you get better at?”

“Find a group of friends that are going to push you and want you to do better whether it's in the classroom or on the court.”

“When you move into becoming more of a shooting guard, you get more catch-and-shoot three's, lot of pin-downs and things like that where you shoot the three a lot more.”

“I just had to get in front of the right people to show my talents off and do what I do best. That's play hard all the time.”

“I feel like I'm making the right plays and right reads each and every night, so if I keep doing that the assists are going to come.”

“It might not be your day that day, but just stay positive and things will get better.”

“If I improve on the jump shot then I will be hard to guard.”

“You can't control injuries, can't control guys getting fired and stuff like that.”

“I don't worry too much about scoring. I worry about the assists.”

“You can talk about pretty much anything in the barbershop.”

“This isn't tennis or track. This is basketball. It's more about the team than self. There are four other guys on the court with you.”

“I just want to go out and play the right way, make sure I get my teammates the ball and then also bring the energy on defense. That's something that I know I can do each and every game, whether my shot's falling or not.”

“I try to show a little bit of excitement, only when I'm on the court, but off the court I'm just chill.”

“So, just make the right reads and the ball will always come back around to you. Taking the right shots and not forcing anything. Just let the game slow down and play free.”

“On the court as well as off the court, I'm going to do everything that's right and try to lead by example.”

“Once all of this is over, I'm definitely going into coaching. I want to change and help people's lives in many different ways.”

“At first you see a lot of people say 'Oh he's good, but he can't shoot' or 'Oh he's good, but can his shot translate to the NBA?' That just made me go into the gym and work that much harder to show and prove that I can shoot outside shots, and I can make shots.”
