Can drive to the hoop and finish off contact with both hands. Has enough bounce to finish above the rim. Has a nice shot flow, and can hit from deep. Great at shot-creating and knocking down difficult shots. His confidence sets him apart on the court, believe in his shot and playmaking. Good ball-handler and defender.

Didn’t matter if it was wide open or hand in his face. Good in catch-and-shoot situations and great at off-the-dribble action. Hit three triples in the game I watched from downtown. A good ball-handler sets his teammates up when he initiates the offense. Doesn’t force anything and lets the game come to him. ’   Jaxon Hennies | 6’0 G | Dakota Valley/Arena Basketball (2023) <a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/05/The-PAck-vs-Arena-139.jpg"><img class=" wp-image-1464725 alignleft" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/05/The-PAck-vs-Arena-139-290x300.jpg" alt="" width="201" height="208" /></a>An outstanding on-ball defender with quick feet and hands to match.
