I think he can develop a 2 man game with Embiid also with more reps and usage.

Can Maxey get us over the hump?

Very Very nice. Good Job of finding this and posting it.

Thanks . Looks like it's coming to fruition. It's early but he's put the work in.

They just traded Harden to the clippers too 8-)

(middle of the night). So the team has confidence in him.

Maxey stonks going to heaven. The prodigal son is now on All NBA trajectory.

So I was doing some research and it looks like Maxey has a good chance to become the biggest steal in franchise history (we have a long history I know) relative to where he was taken in the draft. The only one who comes close is Hal Greer who was drafted 13th in his respective draft.

Edit: I just realized Mo Cheeks is currently the biggest steal in franchise history since he was taken in the second round (36th overall) in 1978. It will be tough for Maxey to surpass that even though he has a chance to become the better overall player.

Dr. J. was also taken 12th overall in his draft even though he obviously wasn't drafted by the Sixers but a strong case could be made for him as the biggest steal to ever play for us.

When i see him being already a better pg than Ben i think we should trade Simmons asap for Harden( with picks) before they notice how limited Simmons is...

I wrote this in Jan 8, 2021( post n# 402). I´m a visionary :lol:

I feel like his personality has really kept this team afloat through the whole Harden drama. His insane work ethic while being incredibly likable makes him an easy star to get behind.

I don't remember him being able to hit 3s off the dribble smoothly like that before, it's not just percentages or hot streak here, the way he scores is just totally different, amazing improvement.

You can says we are cursed and have the worst luck, yada yada, but there's absolutely no reason we should have Maxey and there's no reason that the 21st pick in a draft should be as good as he is. It's actually insane that our second star is this guy after we had two 1st overall picks and a plethora of other first round picks since Hinkie became GM.

How long until Morey gets a cringey painting of Maxey to put in his living room?

The kid energy is unbelievable, he's always positive, confident and has no fear at all. You can't teach that and it's a huge advantage. Also he has a great motor.

On top of that, you can see he has no ego, hes a team player and a very hard worker. Very very rare to find.

I guess the universe wanted some balance and gave us Maxey out of nowhere after all those busts and drama.

Everything I needed to know about Maxey's spirit was his disposition after his house fire during Christmas time in his second year. Simply irrepressible spirit with unlimited capacity for empathy and positivity. His parents did a hell of job.

We've probably arrived at the point where our best player no longer has to be the emotional compass for the team because there is a teammate better suited for it and it lifts our ceiling.

Who is better today? Maxey or Jalen Brunson? Brunson is 27 so he’s done getting better so Maxey will have a better career but I wonder what the advanced stats say about who is better now.

Maxey currently has the 7th highest PER in the NBA. Maxey visually is playing better for sure. His efficiency has been off the charts for years, all he needed to prove to me and to the league is that he can be a player that can go and get buckets on his own, and with star attention. HIs handles are so improved, it's insane. Brunson has reached his ceiling

Only thing Brunson has is a good playoff performance. Other than that, Maxey is more efficient, a far better shooter, better playmaker potentially, faster, younger, and more athletic. The Knicks are horrible again this year.

It's Maxey

Only guards better than Maxey given how young he is, and how much he continues to grow, we could literally be seeing a future MVP here.

SGA, Luka, Steph, that's it...

You could argue Booker, or Mitchell...But Booker has not been great this year and has been injured. Mitchell's team sucks right now.

I'd say Ant and Haliburton are on the same level.

Depends on the player you want. If you want a pure scorer with some good playmaking you'd take Maxey. Edwards has the defense and scoring, but can be wildly inefficient. Hali, is your god level point gaurd. Decent scoring, but amazing playmaking. All 3 could go #1 depending on team needs.
