11. Jaxon Kohler

Whether you like it or not, Jaxon Kohler will always be referred to as Mr. Moneyball. He has been absolutely dominant this summer so far and has always been dominant in years past in this event as well.

So far this summer, Kohler is averaging almost 34 points per game. This includes a monster performance on Thursday that saw him score a shocking 41 points.

I don’t know what it is about Moneyball, but Kohler always looks like the best player each summer. Maybe it’s because he takes it the most serious and tries the hardest, but regardless Kohler once again is shining at Moneyball.

Now the hope for Michigan State is that this transfers to the regular season. We all know he won’t average 30+ points per game, but can he reach double digits consistently? That would be huge if he did.

But if anyone deserves a breakout year this season, it’s Kohler. After missing the first half of last season with an injury, it’s only fair that he stays healthy all summer and during the season. If that happens, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Kohler surprise a lot of people this year.
