The Athletic: Tyrese Maxey’s draft range is “wider than people think”
Despite all five of Kentucky’s starters from the 2019-20 squad entering their names in the NBA Draft and forgoing the remainder of their collegiate eligibility, Tyrese Maxey is seen as the lone first-round lock of the group. Immanuel Quickley has floated anywhere between late-first to middle of the second round, Ashton Hagans and Nick Richards are seen as solid second rounders, while EJ Montgomery has yet to sniff any draft board.
Maxey, however, has been seen as a solid lottery selection from the second he set foot on campus, jumping into the top-five of various mock drafts throughout the season.
