Axton is young fundamentally sound guard who played with the poise of an upper classmen in transition and half-court sets. Unselfish with the ball in his hands and has burst when attacking the rim. Better as an off-ball scorer/playmaker than a primary but Axton has a good IQ, shot-making ability and defensive presence that college coaches desire. Knock down 2 big 3 pointers in the game against a tough Landon School to help Gonzaga secure a 69-65 victory. Looking forward to seeing Axton continue improvement under the guidance of Coach Keith Urgo.

-Can’t remember a time that I saw a PG this young that had this advanced of a level of feel with the basketball in his hands. Scott is a high IQ point guard that should have a chance to start right away under newly-minted head coach Keith Urgo on I Street. Scott really had it going offensively as he earned trips to the free throw line, knocked down 3s, hit a defender with a beautiful euro step to score on the other side of the basket in transition, and did a good job of controlling pace for the Purple Eagles. He plays under control and has a good understanding of where he needs to be on the floor at all times–communicating effectively with teammates to direct traffic as the head of the snake for Gonzaga. Expect him to have a productive career in the purple and white.
