Jeremy Woo over at Sports Illustrated released his first “NBA Draft Big Board” of the year now that he and everyone else have been able to see the early talent in college basketball and beyond. Among the 60 NBA hopefuls named to SI’s board of prospects, you will find three Kentucky Wildcats. And only one anywhere in the good money range.
Up first, SI ranks Tyrese Maxey seventh overall behind five point guards and James Wiseman in the top six.
Here’s what Woo wrote about Kentucky’s hot/cold freshman guard:
7. Tyrese Maxey, G, Kentucky | Freshman
Height: 6’3” | Weight: 200 | Age: 19Maxey has been Kentucky’s most important player, primarily because he’s the only one who can consistently go get a bucket when they need one.
