Good morning.

There’s been no slowing down Tyrese Maxey, who’s been one of the best players in high school hoops during the spring AAU circuit.

Now, Maxey has taken his talents to USA Basketball, where he’s already shining in the FIBA U18 Americas Championship. In a 105-73 victory over the Dominican Republic, Maxey went for 14 points (5-of-8 shooting), five rebounds, three assists, and three steals.
