Strenghts

Weakness

Low shot release, hasn’t been a issue yet , but the NBA is a different animal

Can he fit on a team if he isn’t empowered to do what he wants?

Can he be a low volume, high efficiency player?

Three point shot can be best described as “streaky“

Won’t be relied on to run a offense and be the primary distributer

At Kentucky there were times you could see he was still learning how to play off ball with other dominate ball handlers

There’s times it seems he’s thinking too much figuring out whether to attack or pass off the catch

Needs to stop trying to force his way to the basket off the pick and just shoot the ball (RELAX)

Adding a snake dribble and just pulling up will definitely raise his efficiency and make his more effective with the ball.

Could use 6’7 wingspan to be more disruptive on the defensive end especially in the passing lanes

Sometimes overplays a side defensively and gives up drives

Does he have star potential?

Future Outlook

Tyrese Maxey will be a good bench guard (6man role). Potentially, he will be a starting level player, but I feel his game will be maximized as a spark plug off the bench. He really reminds me of a young version of Lou Will. While, I don’t think he’ll ever be the Elite scorer Lou is, however, he can turn out to be a really good scorer for his role & playmaker, added being an average (at worst) defender. He should project to having a long career in the NBA, as long as a coach doesn’t try to convert him into a traditional playmaking guard, just let Maxey flourish in his game.
