Quotable: “Max is an exceptional athlete who brings us incredible versatility to the frontcourt. Standing 6-9, he has the ability to guard multiple positions on the floor defensively and has the potential to be an elite rim protector. Offensively, he can stretch a defense with his shooting, attack off the bounce or be a low post threat. As Max continues to get stronger and develop physically, we believe he will have a great impact on our team. Max is a high character, intelligent young man who fits our vision on and off the court.” – Jerod Haase
