Brandon Payne’s Comments on Intangibles
“Jaxon has the type of athleticism you can’t teach, and when you combine that with his competitiveness and willingness to learn, the ceiling becomes elite. He’s a playmaker in every sense—he can score it, facilitate, and completely change the tempo with his energy. He’s physically dominant now and still developing, which is scary for opponents. Jaxon is a culture driver who brings toughness, confidence, and leadership to every environment he’s in.”
