EDGE Analysis

With Brandon Miller (shoulder) sidelined for at least the immediate future, coach Charles Lee is likely to lean on Sexton for his leadership and ball-handling abilities. The veteran is off to a great start in Charlotte, posting averages of 18.5 points, 4.8 assists, 2.5 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 1.5 three-pointers through four regular-season contests.
