Maddox is expected to play a key role for the Patriots next season. He is a versatile player who can score, rebound, and defend. He will be a valuable addition to a George Mason team that is looking to improve on its 15-16 record from last season.

Maddox is the second high-profile transfer to join George Mason this offseason. The Patriots also added former Towson guard Cam Holden, who was the Colonial Athletic Association Player of the Year last season.

With the addition of Maddox and Holden, George Mason is poised to make a run at the NCAA Tournament next season.
