'I've been working on my game a lot': MSU's Jaden Akins ready for larger role as sophomore

Holt — With about 11 minutes remaining in the second half of a Moneyball Pro-Am game Thursday night, Michigan State guard Jaden Akins found himself heading to the rim with no resistance.

Instead of a layup, though, Akins elected to finish with a windmill slam, flexing some of the vertical ability he has in his bag.

He followed up that highlight with another dunk shortly thereafter on a fast break, tossing the ball off the backboard to himself and flushing it down with two hands, much to the delight of those in attendance.

"I just wanted to give the fans a show tonight," Akins said.
