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. With all four other Wildcats declaring for the draft, Maxey is widely expected to be the first one to hear his name called on draft night.

As with Devin Booker a few years ago, it’s not about their volume scoring at Kentucky that matters but how they scored. Maxey, as we saw in their first game against Michigan State, is a big-time scorer.

Maxey is a fearless stud that is uber-athletic and can shoot well enough to keep opponent’s honest. He has every trait to be among the best at the next level, and ESPN analyst Mike Schmitz thinks he could be the “perfect fit” in today’s NBA.
