No one ignores his flaws. We have confidence in his ability to improve on them. He's 23.

There is a huge difference between overrating someone, which is possible, an acting like a 3 game sample is a reflection on anything.

A guy who is a 3 or attack the rim guy, is gonna struggle when the team has zero spacing at the moment because he cannot attack the rim.


On the other hand, you have guys saying that outside of Embiid everyone on this team is a role player, wich includes Maxey. Again, you can be frustrated, that's the nature of sport fandom, i also can single out stupid takes if i think they're stupid, sorry.

I Agree. His track record says there's a good chance he will.

People have been wanting to trade Maxey since drafting him. Lowry, Harden, Dame, and more…. Especially when he had a bad game. It’s always in the name of selling high or some **** too. He’s not MCW who stagnated.

How did he play 16 minutes and only attempt 3 shots?

Call me crazy but I still believe. I think there's a player in him to be found and the biggest issue is his confidence. The way he plays for Turkey is an NBA player.


Korkmaz is and will never be good. There’s a reason why he hasn’t broken through under three coaches for over half of a decade.

It's starting to look like I was wrong. He may have a role as a defensive stopper in the right circumstances, he's been really impressive the last few games. Love his work rate and attitude.

Well that was the kiss of death.
