Quotable: "We are very excited to add Maxime to this program. His ceiling is high and with proper development, he can have a huge impact moving forward. The skill set he has is extremely unique. He can score with his back to the basket, put the ball on the floor and make plays for his teammates, and can stretch the court and shoot from the perimeter. We are so excited for his future on the Farm, both on and off the court." – Head Coach Jerod Haase
