steady two-way guard with real shot-making pop
In the 2025-26 season, Zaxton King has been a reliable Missouri State backcourt piece, posting 7.2 points, 2.0 rebounds, and 1.6 assists per game while shooting 41.5% from the field and 31.4% from three across 34 games.[7] He brings a useful blend of perimeter scoring and composure, with enough offensive versatility to punish gaps and enough playmaking to keep the ball moving.[7][10] The bigger draw is his trajectory: he improved from 8.9 points as a true freshman to a more efficient, all-around role as a sophomore, which is exactly the kind of upward trend coaches love.[1][10]
