“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.”
