Another Kentucky Wildcat has announced his intentions to enter the NBA Draft. Tyrese Maxey said today he hasn’t hired an agent but plans to forego the rest of his college eligibility. During his freshman season, Maxey averaged 14 points, 4.3 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game.

In a statement, Coach John Calipari said Maxey is a great kid with a confidence in his ability that does not waver. Calipari added he has a potential that he has only begun to realize and needed to be challenged to take that next step.
