I've always talked up the Texas and Georgia hotspots, and they usually prove me right(**cough** Isaac Okoro **cough**), year after year after year outstanding talent is 'marginalized' because those regions are strong enough to hide super-sleepers in plain sight..
Maxey is one of the champions from those hotspots. To me when a players from that area and i know and like them that gives me even more reason not to underestimate them, and i dont think its just a case of luck, theres good reason, competition.
Might seem silly to you but on decisions such as Lonzo Ball vs De'Aaron Fox... which fooled the masses, but not me, this sorta thing ended up holding massive weight. It's not about just making a choice and sticking with it either, like some fan, it's about the level of conviction you have when making said choice.
Conviction is really a word ppl will avoid around here, and in threads/discussions like these, they think it's smart to be on the fence and using wishy-washy noncommittal terms. To me, thats the opposite of what this is about.
