Career Goals
“If I’m building a team around a player, I’m taking Jaxton. He’s a player that cannot be shut down as he is so driven, but also commands so much attention. He did it to my team this year, and he is full of special moments. He’s not athletically overwhelming, but he’s one of the smarter players I’ve seen in how he uses his body to shield and create space.”
