New Los Angeles Lakers guard Collin Sexton is excited and ready for his first season with the team to start. Speaking with ESPN LA in a recent interview, Sexton said he's ready to win with the Lakers.

"I would say just opportunity to win, being on big stage and being in the situation where I can try to come in and impact winning," Sexton replied when asked about why he chose the Lakers in free agency. "I feel like I've been on different teams where it's just been a lot tougher. Of course, the want to win, it's always been there. But it's definitely tough to win in the NBA. It's a hard thing and each and every night we're playing against the best of the best. So, I think just being on this stage and being able to impact winning each and every day, and what I bring to the team and bring to the game. I feel like I just fit right in."

Sexton, who played with Walker Kessler on the Utah Jazz, said that the big man will bring the Lakers rim protection. The veteran guard also shouted out Kessler for working on improving his offensive game.

The interview also touched on Luka Doncic bringing a group of Lakers teammates to Slovenia for a week of workouts and team bonding. Sexton said shows what kind of leader Doncic is.

"I would say it was one of those trips where it was more like team building for us," Sexton said. "It was for us to gel and work out, not just in the (United) States, but away. And also, just the culture, for Luka to do that, it just shows a true leader, and that's the role that he wants to fall into this season and be the one to lead us."
