I don't know. Maxey reminds me a lot of Malik Monk from UK a couple years ago. Very similar players. Now, Maxey may not put up quite the type numbers Monk did in terms of volume because of a little more balance and depth at the guard position, but I won't be surprised to see him match Monk in terms of percentages.Maxey had a great game last night, and he’s a nice player, but that WILL NOT be close his norm.
Huge stage and he went off. After a few 2 for 10 3 for 15 nights he’ll be the 6 man he was coming into par night. Jmo
I’ll be all over the eating crow if he stays anywhere close to what he did last night, but very few good 3 point shooters do it consistently with their feet as spread and off square as his were last night.I don't know.

I mean, nothing he did was seemingly abnormal. His percentages weren't grossly skewed. He was 7-12 shooting, 3-7 from the 3-pt line. Now, he was 9-10 from the FT line, so he may not get there 10 times/gm, but nothing else stands out as unsustainable.I’ll be all over the eating crow if he stays anywhere close to what he did last night, but very few good 3 point shooters do it consistently with their feet as spread and off square as his were last night.
Now I do think he’s a dude that won’t be irrelevant if he isn’t scoring, cause he seems like a straight up winner/do what it takes. But his scoring last night will be the exception. Imo
10-4 man. I only used the 6 man reference because that was apparently the productivity he’d shown coming into last night. And I also acknowledged “anywhere close to last night” and I’m wrong.I mean, nothing he did was seemingly abnormal. His percentages weren't grossly skewed.

His form is unconventional, and again, he isn't likely to average 26 ppg because UK is deep at the guard position, but I'm not sure he's going to "just be the 6th man", and if he is, that's a heck of a 6th man.
