Vote For Tyrese Maxey as the March Madness Preseason Player of the Year

Basketball fans sure do love themselves some brackets. Over at the NCAA March Madness Twitter page (@marchmadness), they’re taking it beyond the end-of-the-season tournament with a preseason bracket for National Player of the Year.

College basketball analyst Andy Katz has created a 16-player bracket consisting of the players he believes will be in contention for the 2019-20 Player of the Year. Representing the Kentucky Wildcats is the highly-touted freshman guard Tyrese Maxey, who wound up as the 11-seed in the bracket.

And who does Maxey face in the first round? Well, Kerry Blackshear Jr. of course!
