Former Kentucky Wildcats guard Tyrese Maxey has signed with agent Rich Paul of the Klutch Sports Group ahead of the NBA Draft, the agency announced on Thursday.
The 6-foot-3 freshman announced on April 6 that he would leave school early and enter the NBA Draft. Maxey averaged 14 points, 4.3 rebounds and 3.2 assists in 31 games played with the Wildcats, earning Second Team All-SEC honors in the process.
Maxey is considered to be a lottery pick by most insiders given his ability to impact games on both ends of the floor. He is projected to be selected seventh in the latest 2020 Rookie Wire NBA Mock Draft.
Klutch Sports has emerged as perhaps the top agency in the NBA given its All-Star clientele, headlined by LeBron James, Anthony Davis and John Wall among others. Paul signed several prospects from the 2019 NBA Draft class, including Darius Garland, Darius Bazley and Talen Horton-Tucker.
