Suns 2020 Draft Spotlight: Tyrese Maxey, the next Kentucky-to-NBA star?

After breakout performances in the bubble from former Kentucky guards Jamal Murray and Tyler Herro along with recent late-lottery overachievers Devin Booker and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, many wonder if Tyrese Maxey is the next sneaky good guard prospect to come out of John Calipari’s Kentucky.

While his numbers don’t jump off the page, there are flashes where you can see the potential with his ability to score from three levels and defend at a high level. Kentucky deployed a three-man guard rotation where he was used quite a bit off-ball with fellow draft hopeful guards Immanuel Quickley and Ashton Hagans.
