UMass’ long, active forward who brought energy, rim pressure, and versatility
In his 2014-15 season at Massachusetts, Maxie Esho started all 32 games and averaged 11.3 points, 6.4 rebounds, and 0.9 blocks while shooting 50.0% from the field and 33.3% from three, giving UMass a tough, multi-positional forward with real two-way value[7]. At 6-foot-8, he had the length and motor to defend, rebound, and finish plays above the rim, and recruiting evaluations praised his broad shoulders, big hands, and high upside[4][14]. He was the kind of player coaches love: active, physical, and impactful beyond the box score.[4][7]
