played with a competitive fire throughout this game and impacted Waukee’s win in a multitude of ways. For starters, he was impossible to stay in front of. Max showcased his deep bag of dribble combos that he used to consistently shake defenders and blow by them. Max is an insanely smooth operator of the offense, and he rarely gets sped up. He displayed great speed and burst as a driver, and he got to the rim at will in this game. At the rim, he hit many contested layups through contact. His touch is elite, and he can finish around defenders through tough angles. He was able to get defenders on his hip constantly, which allowed him to get to his floater in the lane, which he hit at a high clip and had no issue making these shots at high speeds and while off balance. He was also great at using his body to create space. There was a moment in this game where he shook his defender off the dribble, got them off balance, and then used his shoulder to bump them, which sent them to the floor and allowed him to pull up for a midrange bucket. He displayed an ability to hit deep threes off of dribble handoffs as well. His three-level shot creation ability allowed him to create many advantages for his team, and he displayed high-level court vision, kicking out to open shooters and creating many open looks for the offense. He did all of this while being a very feisty and engaged defender, picking up full court and ripping opposing ball handlers for steals.
