Kentucky coach John Calipari and assistant coach Tony Barbee made the trip to watch Maxey, as well as UK target Matthew Hurt. Possible UK target Cole Anthony also plays for the United States.
Barbee was the only coach in attendance for Sunday nights opening round win, but Calipari made sure to be in attendance on Monday. While Kentucky has Maxey on board for 2019, Calipari is heavily pursuing Hurt. Kentucky could also fall in love with a couple of Maxey’s USA teammates.
