2026-2027 season!
Maxime Meyer is a developing big and legit 7-footer who won’t turn 18 until January of his senior year. He needs strength and is only just scratching the surface of his potential, but has a very intriguing combination of size, natural instincts, and tenacity. He’s already a constant double-double threat (9.1 points and 8.1 rebounds in 3SSB play), high-level rim protector (3.2 blocks), and total stat stuffer on the defensive end of the floor (4.3 total stocks).
While he’s not nearly physically developed yet, he doesn’t shy away from contact. He’s willing to be physical, has a long 7-foot-3 wingspan, and huge 9-foot-5 standing reach. He’s very coordinated for his size, a fluid mover in the open floor, and agile enough for an occasional euro-step in the lane. He’s bouncier in space than he is among bodies at this point, but able to be a lob threat with his length, very fundamental about keeping the ball high in traffic, and an excellent offensive rebounder (3.3 per game). From a skill standpoint, he has solid hands, uses both instinctively around the rim on both ends of the floor (may actually prefer blocking shots with his left), and is comfortable putting the ball on the deck. Meyer also has a good natural feel for interior spacing and relocating to the appropriate open area on the floor. There are passing flashes, and while his turnover rate is high now (0.9 assists vs. 2.4 turnovers), he projects as being capable of playing out of short-rolls and dribble-hand-offs at the next level. He may be a little farther away as a face-up shooting threat, with an elongated release, but does have touch to develop (67% FT).
