He was a 5 star recruit. Ranked 10th in his class. 3rd overall guard. I don’t think his talent was ever in question. Just his size/position. Combo guard. And outside shot.
Here is his espn recruiting from 2019
“ Tyrese Maxey is a scorer! He has a gift for putting the ball in the basket. He is a solid shooter with his feet set to 22 feet. Tyrese is a combo guard that could project as a lead guard at the highest level. He has a good mid range game and is an excellent slasher to the basket. Maxey has good athleticism and can be a top notch defender when motivated.
Weakness:
Maxey has "in between" size and is a scorer first so he doesn't project as a true point guard. He is an excellent basketball player so his size won't prevent him from being an impact guy at the collegiate level. Defensively he can lose concentration from time to time and sometimes doesn't feel challenged but he has the physical capability (long limbs, athleticism and size) to be a great defender.
Bottom Line:
Tyrese's ability to score makes him an elite prospect. The more he shows his ability to play point guard or grow to 6'5 , the higher his stock for the highest level.”
