I was thoroughly impressed with Jaxon’s performance Thursday night. His skills have progressed since I watched him play as a seventh grader. Jaxson was strictly a scorer last season. Now as an eighth grader, he’s become more of a facilitator and leader. His growth spurt gave him a distinct advantage over the opposition. Jaxson easily maneuvered around defenders and made plays. He led his team in assists, some being traditional while others were on the flashy side. After watching him play, I would classify him as a point forward. He’s an excellent team player who handles the ball and makes everyone around him better. Jaxson is a great free-throw shooter. He knocked down six of seven throughout the duration of the game. If the scorer I watched last season can co-exist with the play-maker I saw Thursday, Jaxson could become a very special player.
