3. Jaden Akins will be walking highlight reel

Jaden Akins will have some huge highlight reel dunks. They will be off of the fast break, they will from baseline cuts to the basket, and also from an offensive rebound that no one decided to box out on.

We have seen this before: Akins soaring high above the rim and throwing some hammers. This will be the same only we will see multiple. Akins will have at least three of these highlight-reel dunks.

During a game that will come easy to the Spartans, one thing that will get the crowd going is Akins and his dunks. He will outshine Gabe Brown in this category for once and cement his ability and athleticism to all who are watching.

This will give State fans wanting more from Akins for the rest of the season. It will also give the Spartans another threat to make huge plays when they need it most.
