Expert Analysis
Kyle Sandy | Prep Hoops Scout
The human bowling ball is all downhill. If you guard Akins, expect to be put in the rim numerous times and to need a long ice bath afterwards. The lefty is as physical as they come in the backcourt. When he puts his head down, he bullies his way to the hoop. He’s got crafty finishes with English on his spin. Akins posted 14 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals in a 56-40 breeze past Rockdale.

Akins is a tough, lefty PG that can keeps defenses on their toes and can score in bunches. He’s got a solid build that he uses to create space on the drive. Also shoots it well from mid-range and behind the arc. All-around advanced offensive skillset. Comes from a Jonesboro program that breeds defense and toughness.

stepped up to the challenge against McEachern on Saturday and had Jonesboro winning at the half before a 3rd quarter collapse. He finished with 20 points to lead Jonesboro, scoring in some creative ways and shooting it well all game. His confidence and mentality were contagious and rubbed off on his teammates from the opening tip. Akins is a big, strong guard that can score the ball and play either guard spot effectively. He’ll make a college program very happy when it’s all said and done.
