A former Michigan State star tipped off his pro career on Friday night, and he did so with a heck of a performance for the G-League’s Motor City Cruise.
Jaden Akins had an impressive performance in his first game with the Cruise on Friday night, scoring 16 points with a career-best 15 assists. That’s right, Akins not only starred, but he had a double-double with 15 assists. If you had told me that Akins had a double-double in his first G-League game, I would’ve expected the second half of it to be rebounds, not assists.
Clearly, Akins has been working on his passing and playmaking.
