Following the graduations of two of the top three scorers, and the transfer of the other leader from last year, Akines should have ample opportunity with the ball in his hands this season, an area in which he thrives. He handles the ball really well, is a gifted passer, and has excellent footwork and the ability to absorb contact and finish around the rim. He’s a tough lead guard who plays through contact and he can defend on the ball at a high level.
