Tyrese Maxey will be featured in FS1 documentary TONIGHT

Kentucky guard Tyrese Maxey will be featured in a documentary on Fox Sports 1 this evening. Starting at 11 p.m. ET, the dynamic freshman scoring threat out of Garland, TX will be featured in the season premiere of "Elite Youth," a new series about "the modern high school basketball superstar." A preview of tonight's episode was released this afternoon, with Maxey - a senior in high school at the time - breaking down his passion for the game of basketball, Evan Daniels of 247Sports and his parents - Denyse and Tyrone Maxey - talking about what the former five-star guard brings to the table as a player, and highlights of his game. "I went from being the hunter to the hunted," Maxey said in the promo video. "Everybody is looking at the rankings and they see my name at the top. Those calls, coaches along the baseline [at high school and AAU events] are going to be investing a lot of money in you one day. You've got to man up in those kind of situations."
