Tyrese Maxey says he thought Miami Heat would draft him

Imagine a trio of Tyrese Maxey, Bam Adebayo, and Tyler Herro all playing alongside each other, connecting three different John Calipari-coached teams to one NBA franchise. We’ve seen plenty of former Wildcats team up at the next level over the years to form dangerous tandems, but none would have been able to match the overwhelming young talent those three would have produced.

Unfortunately, we’re only two-thirds of the way to that reality. Adebayo and Herro both play for the Miami Heat, while Maxey is with the Philadelphia 76ers.
