Maxwell Lewis is the latest high school basketball player to forgo college and train for next year’s draft.
The four-star, class of 2021 recruit announced on Monday that he will be training with Chameleon BX, following in the footsteps of other high-profile recruits like five-star, class of 2020 recruit MarJon Beauchamp.
Today, I'm excited to formally announce my decision to prepare for the 2021 NBA Draft and begin training with @chameleon_bx . I’m a big believer in setting goals and working hard to be the best I can be. #nba #2021 Thank you to all the coaches and programs who have helped me out. pic.twitter.com/dPYDZIZ3il
