Maxwell is a 2027 prospect out of St. Francis Episcopal who has been showing encouraging performances since my first time watching him earlier this summer. He brings an offensive-minded approach and looks comfortable making plays within the flow of the game. His ability to create scoring opportunities and contribute in multiple situations gives him versatility on the offensive end. Defensively, his activity and willingness to compete allow him to make an impact outside of his scoring. Maxwell’s continued development makes him a player worth keeping an eye on as the season approaches.

Marley is one of those guards that the defense has to be aware of at all times and know where he is on the floor. His skillset is so versatile that he can score the ball from all levels, be an elite playmaker, and lock up on the perimeter during defensive stands. Maxwell uses  speed and a variety of dribble moves to beat defenders to his spots and pull up with a fast jumper that he utilizes so well, especially in transition scenarios. Due to his height, he surveys the floor at a high level over smaller defenders, and this allows him to make smart decisions in isolation as well.

His scoring consistency was evident in this game, making shots confidently, especially from the three-point line. From the perimeter, he shoots with a quick trigger that is hard for defenders to react to if he is left open. He was able to make the defense pay for leaving him open, converting on many of his attempts from the perimeter. With the ball in his hands, he threw out some impressive passes to his teammates that resulted in generating good looks for his teammates to score. At his 6’4 height, he is able to read defenses well within the offensive flow. Defensively, he competed at a high level, being involved often in rotations.
