Collin Sexton is the brightest star not on a top-seeded NCAA Tournament team. The New York Times said the Alabama basketball freshman is “arguably the best player in the nation.” Even without embracing such expansive praise, the consensus is he will be the top point-guard taken in the next NBA Draft.
Without him, Alabama basketball would not be ‘Dancin’ this season or maybe the next season and the following one. The Sexton hype has fueled Avery Johnson’s recruiting efforts for the 2018 and 2019 recruiting classes.
If Robert Woodward had swatted away a normal finger-roll last Thursday, the Tide’s future prospects would be very different.
