Crafty Floor General Making Waves in Professional Basketball
The 25-year-old Oakland native has transitioned from his standout 2021-22 season at Baylor—where he started all 32 games and led the Bears in assists 25 times—into professional basketball. Currently with the Denver Nuggets organization (G League's Grand Rapids Gold), Akinjo is showcasing the playmaking and scoring versatility that made him a four-time Big 12 Weekly Award winner. His left-handed finesse, court vision, and ability to impact winning (Baylor went 22-3 when he led in assists) make him an intriguing developmental prospect for teams seeking a backup point guard with high basketball IQ and proven leadership.
