Michigan State basketball big man Jaxon Kohler drops 58 points at Moneyball Pro-Am

Another summer, another big Moneyball performance from Jaxon Kohler

They might have to rename the Moneyball Pro-Am the ‘Jaxon Kohler Show’, because that’s what it’s been the last two years. A year after Jaxon Kohler dropped 53 points in the annual event that features numerous Michigan State basketball players, Kohler upped the ante, dropping 58 points for Team Tri-Star Trust.

Tri-Star Trust, which also features Gehrig Normand, is the only undefeated team in the Moneyball Pro-Am as the playoffs open next week. They beat Team Motorcars, which featured Jaden Akins and Xavier Booker.

Other results from the night, as reported by Spartans Illustrated, include:

  • Snipes (Tre Holloman, Carson Cooper) 91 – Faygo (Coen Carr, Jase Richardson) 87
  • Goodfellas (Kur Teng, Szymon Zapala) 100 – Case Credit Union (Frankie Fidler, Jesse McCulloch) 96

MSU G Pierre Brooks named MVP of 2022 Moneyball Pro-Am

If this year’s Moneyball Pro-Am event was any indication of what’s to come for Pierre Brooks, then he’s about to have a monster 2022-23 season

If this year’s Moneyball Pro-Am event was any indication of what’s to come for Pierre Brooks, then he’s about to have a monster 2022-23 season.

Brooks was awarded the Moneyball Pro-Am event Most Valuable Player award on Wednesday. Brooks averaged 40.3 points per game during the summer event.

Brooks will be a sophomore this upcoming season, and is expected to have an enhanced role with the Spartans from a year ago. Last season, he appeared in 25 games and averaged 0.9 points and 0.5 rebounds across 3.7 minutes per game.

As a fan, it’s easy to get caught up in the Moneyball Pro-Am numbers, but remember this was just a summer event that everyone should take with a grain of salt. We’ve seen other Spartans in the past have monster Moneyball Pro-Am events and it does not translate to the college season afterward. But this is still exciting to see from Brooks and shows Michigan State could get more scoring out of him this upcoming season.
