For whatever reason, Tyrese Maxey has been slipping in NBA mock draft boards.
It feels like analysts don’t think the Wildcats point guard has that “it” factor. No, Maxey didn’t have the greatest season at Kentucky, but he showed enough to prove that he could be the next elite combo guard come out of Lexington.
The 6-foot-3 Maxey is athlete and can score at will. While he averaged only 14.0 points per game his freshman season, Maxey bought into a role that John Calipari had envisioned for him.
Maxey played his role very well, having the Wildcats set up for a top-four seed in the 2020 NCAA Tournament, an event that sadly didn’t happen.
