Thank you for making this video and giving him the attention he deserves! Even amongst TH-camrs who strictly cover the sixers, people have been very hesitant to speak this glowingly about Maxey, not wanting to "get their hopes up." And I've been saying since last season this kid is in a league of his own. In the 8 games Embiid has missed, Maxey is averaging 24 points, 4.5 assists, and 0.5 TURNOVERS per game. Tobias has missed many of these games as well. The turnover rate is unheard of in the league. There is no superstar, no 6th man, no all time great who takes care of the ball that well right now. This while he shoots a top tier percentage and has every move in his bag, as you mentioned. I'm not going to say he's the next Damian Lillard but I'm certainly not going to say he can't be
Pfft. This guy is talking about Maxey like he scouted him and is the only one that saw potential. In reality this video is 20/20 hindsight and makes a mockery out of the improvement he's made so he can toot his own horn. This video is literal trash.
@@MrMancreatedgod think you're missing the point big guy.. there's a SEGMENT of people who wanted Maxey to get 30+ minutes in last year's playoffs. Most people said woah woah woah pump the brakes... There's a SEGMENT who said at the start of this season that Maxey is on his way to being an all star. Most people said woah woah woah pump the brakes. Maxey is going to be a lot better than most people realize, possibly even better than the sixers realized. There's a reason he went #20 and it isn't because there were 19 better players in that draft
No 2020 March Madness due to COVID may have been the biggest blessing to the sixers. I am 100% confident that had the tournament happened Maxey would've balled out and would've gone much higher in the draft than he did. But because that spotlight wasn't there, he was able to fly under the radar and philly was able to pick him up at 21st.
He’s been that way since he was little his dad was my high school coach and he watched us a lot and gained a lot from us. He’s been a killer since i known him. Shown that they can go ahead and trade Ben asap and get more shooting also. Can’t stay in front of him and he can get to the rim at will 💪🏀
His low TO rate was what the most impressive given he was basically the PG while being a true SG and everything you said about him was clearly on point
Great vid. I agree with you. If the NBA did a 2020 re-draft, Maxey would probably be a top 5 pick. Lamelo and Edwards would go 1 2 but I could see teams discussing which Tyrese to take at 3.
You should’ve mentioned his exceptional and precocious court vision. That’s what sets up his drives to the hoop, and is what helps him limit turnovers.
This video is aging like fine wine. Already an elite driver and finisher for his position and posted the 2nd highest 3p% IN THE ENTIRE LEAGUE this season! The kid is a future star
In my opinion Maxey is off the table in trade discussions that include Ben. Guy has proven that he can start and it's changed my mind on the Sixers trading Ben for a guard. Now I feel like they can get a nice wing player. Perhaps another forward to replace Danny Green. Very excited he's on the team and I really hope he stays.
@@jimmygardebrink6914 Yeah, I'd take Maxey. It's tough because Brunson is so smart and solid all-around, but Maxey is more capable of being an actual lead guy offensively, which his team needs.
Amazing Vid! You know your stuff! His shooting has been awesome!!!! But it will be very interesting to see if he can sustain his jumper shooting percentages! I highly doubt that he will be able to shoot 40% from 3 all year, but his ft shooting looks so nice so that’s an indication that maybe, just maybeeee 🤔 he can sustain the 40% mark! Look forward to more of your videos! Well done!!
A new generation of guards that I call "paint guards" This dude, Ja and Trae are very comfortable scoring in the paint like old school Tony Parker, but not afraid to take the 3 when the opportunity presents itself. This is what makes them hyper efficient scorers, with the exception of Trae who is starting to become more efficient as he gets more comfortable. Maxey and Ja appear to be way ahead of schedule though
Last season he had shown great promise but was buried at the end of the bench because of limited minutes and Docs biases against rooks (especially PG). On top of that his old teammate playing for the Knicks was getting all the kudos. Glad that 25 decided to take a mental break and allowing us to see what we have with Maxey
Watching maxey every night his only flaw is that because his floater is so effective he drives too much against bigs. He also sometime disappears in offense but those will be fixed as he grows. Definitely think he is gonna be the best scorer in the league soon
Wow I figured maxey was playing well since the sixers offense was putting up great numbers but I didn’t expect him to be that efficient as a young lead guard. He’s gonna be special I can’t believe he fell so far in the draft
Guess this is another case where you gotta go with the eye test on his shooting rather than his % in college since there’s so much less space at that level
@@willbartlett243 That and he’s always in the gym looking to improve at least 1% (in his words) so I’m assuming he’s put a lot of time into improving his jump shot mechanics since Kentucky too.
Kinda like a Trae Young i think he has a chance to become that he will be mentioned and featured in future matches , groom T-Max than get out of his way glenn rivers and let the kid play .
One of the few things we can thank the Pandemic for. No way this dude falls to where he fell otherwise. Now about that Glenn Rivers guy........ let him get the ball more.......
Philly says they want something of value for Ben Simmons, when they already got it in Maxey. They need to hurry up and trade Ben, get rid of that big contract so they can secure Maxey before he goes into RFA and another team scoops him up.
The first time I seen Maxey play I knew he was something special. I was like this kid is gonna be big some day and man I'm glad he's still on our team! I can't wait to see how he progresses as a player the next few seasons. Don't be surprised if you see him in the all star game next year! Maxey fan for life!
I love Maxey, but he struggles when Joel is down low. Embiid is great with the dribble head off, but Embiid doesn’t really do pick and roll often. I hope he figures out how to play with Joel.
He jus needs to develop a midrange game and he will be deadly. The fact that teams have to respect Joel from the distance gives maxey room to dominate in the paint . So it works
If Maxey stays consistent and continuously improves it just lowers Ben Simmons trade value everyday. Shit. Darryl Morey might be good w/ trading Ben for a BLT and a coke.
Maxey is a baller, flat out. The dynamic of his continued development in relation to Simmons almost makes Simmons expendable. Right now I suspect that Morey is not getting many decent offers for Simmons. I don't believe Simmons can mentally play for the Sixers ever again. The league knows this and that is why he has yet to be moved. Some type of injury or major need on a great team will create a trade partner as long as Morey can remain patient and that's what Maxey provides. If the Sixers can get back a legit sniper at the two for Simmons, they become extremely dangerous in the East. Everything goes through Joel and that's probably the correct mindset for this team. Simmons is a luxury on a complete team. I've said that since day one. He can't shoot and he can't make free throws. He'll end up being a decent 6th man with diminishing minutes and zeros off of his contract. Hopefully for the Sixers and for Simmons, a deal can be made. Even if it's high Draft picks coming back, I can see a few guys in College right now who could be that Two.
i mean, pump the breaks a little bit hes gotta show that the shot making flashes and foul-drawing are here to stay first before we even entertain that thought lol
@@clarkkent2468 i mean that maxey has to become consistent at shot making and foul-drawing before he has the chance to become "one of THE BEST SCORERS in the nba" what did you think i meant? lmao
@@HughMungus4655 of course he has to be consistent, he's only just turned 21 years old and it's 18 games so far on his full season as a starter... I'm a maxey fan but it's way too early to call him a star and I don't think anyone is calling him a star... Everyone see's the potential... For me I'll only judge Maxey during the playoffs cause that's when it matters the most... He was pretty good in the playoffs last season but he also did some rookie mistakes which was understandable... One thing Maxey has going for him is he loves a challenge and doesn't shy away from unlike some other idiot in the sixers team 😂... I still think Simmons is a better player but Maxey and Embiid is a better fit
Take note.He is also known already as being a phanatic gym rat.In philly its known that he literally works out EVERY MORNING at 4 like Kobe.Even weekends.Coaches are sometimes told to lock the gym on him so he cant get in!!!! FACTS.
Maxey is the NBA's tom brady. Drafted low but is showing he is becoming one of the best nba players ever. If the sixers even mention maxey in any kind of trade the sixers are in big trouble wit the philly fan base. Things will get dangerously physical. Hood style! This organization is known for getting rid of alot of great players because the sixers organisation happens to be very incompetent! N tht scares the shit out of me. Because thy really do some dumb shit!
The sixers got rid of Charles,Iverson,Butler,wilt. Shall i go on? This organization is one of the dumbest n has been for a long long time! We can only hope thy smartin up n fast. Maxey,curry,thybulle n embiid should be untouchable. Lets hope so anyway.
Well, I do a podcast so everything I say is kind of on the record - so go back and listen to our pre-draft stuff! Or check out my tweet about him on draft night or from throughout last season or listen to podcasts about that, too.
Think you got a key point about Maxey wrong--he's very fast but does NOT have a quick first step, part of what's been so impressive about him is that he's been able to drive consistently without that tool. He creates separation with those picks and his speed, but he's also been phenomenal at scoring in little gaps and making do with those tight spaces. His lack of elite quickness, size, and a pure shooting stroke were big reasons he fell in the draft, and he's proven to everyone that he didn't need all those things to score at this level.
Nah, like I said he’s very fast but to get space he always either uses a pick or uses a lot of space to burn his defender with speed. He doesn’t have that twitchy first step that can create space on its own, that’s never been a thing for him. And it makes his scoring now all the more impressive.
Stop keep hyping these kids before they have proven over a period of time against good opposition. Setting bars too high is kind of a Philadelphia pastime. Soon as they start coming down to earth, they are then criticized.
I saw him in person versus the Bulls. The man is QUICK and can get buckets any time he wants. I became a fan during the game

MAXEY has already made himself an UNTOUCHABLE in any Simmons trade scenario
@@just_tom00 lol nope
Guess u were right!

Thank you so much - you too!
I rate this video. Maxey getting his respect
Kid has All NBA potential
The young talent puts in the work and he listens. Not a diva.
Yes u are right
Maxey is who we wanted Fultz to be. Oh well
The Harden acquisition appears to be paying off for everybody. especially for him🔥🔥this video is going to age well TTP🔴🔵
He’s playing great right now
Hell yeah this dude needs more attention
This dude is quick as lightning!
His low TO rate was what the most impressive given he was basically the PG while being a true SG and everything you said about him was clearly on point
The way he moves with the ball reminds me of Markelle Fultz. Does anyone agree they have similarities (forgetting Fultz’s injury problems)…
I remember a sports analyst said he is what the Sixers thought Fultz would be.
If the Sixers trade this kid, I'm seriously going to cry!
Great vid. I agree with you. If the NBA did a 2020 re-draft, Maxey would probably be a top 5 pick. Lamelo and Edwards would go 1 2 but I could see teams discussing which Tyrese to take at 3.
One advantage with maxey my Sixers got him on a budget being pick 21
Would you put Quickley over Maxey?
@@novacorps2468 Maxey is so much better than Quick. Not even a discussion
You should’ve mentioned his exceptional and precocious court vision. That’s what sets up his drives to the hoop, and is what helps him limit turnovers.
i can't stop smiling while watching this video
That cat fearless and aggressive, gotta love it. He's special.

Why would team trade young up coming talent for broken down players with only a history and media hype.
@@hamhockbeans that's a good question. Guess we'll wait and see.

@@ogbobbyt2159 But does Daryl Morey feel the same way? I hope so...
@@hamhockbeans Because it sound like something the Sixers would do, or any Philly sports team for that matter.
Love your stuff! Question: would you rather have Maxey or Brunson on your team as a second scorer/PG?
Appreciate it! I love Brunson, but I definitely think Maxey has a higher ceiling
@@Nerd_Sesh yes yes, but right now, for this season, do you still pick Maxey?. I might do too, but I’m torn.
@@jimmygardebrink6914 Yeah, I'd take Maxey. It's tough because Brunson is so smart and solid all-around, but Maxey is more capable of being an actual lead guy offensively, which his team needs.

Nice video bro
Philly might have 3 allstars next year.
Had Sixers known Maxey was gonna be this good to start season I guarantee they make the Simmons for Brogden trade
Oh no question. Would’ve done it in a heartbeat
Uggggh no
Yup should have done rhat. Imagine Embid Maxey and Brogdon starting with Tobias and Seth . Crazy potential
Watching maxey every night his only flaw is that because his floater is so effective he drives too much against bigs. He also sometime disappears in offense but those will be fixed as he grows. Definitely think he is gonna be the best scorer in the league soon
Maxey is a baller. He plays hard and wants to win
let sleep on maxey he gon keep killing em

Buying his jersey ✔
I love him ❤️
Unfortunately we will never see another Maxey
He works on his game and he acts like a professional
Maxey the real deal
And! He’s a great on ball defender
dont forget his defense, doc wouldnt let him touch the floor as much if he was a liability
The Sixers need another Maurice Cheeks and I think Maxey could grow into that sort of rock solid point guard.
I love Maxey, but he struggles when Joel is down low. Embiid is great with the dribble head off, but Embiid doesn’t really do pick and roll often. I hope he figures out how to play with Joel.

@@drilladelphia7560 agreed. He grew a lot over the season. Being a three level scorer will make him a all-star level player.
most kentucky guards seem to do well in the nba
100%
Makes you wonder why the Sixers haven't looked to Kentucky players to draft in the past.
Ai with a body look out League
Who's here after his first 3 playoff games
He now is
Lebron: Are you taking notes, Russell?
Westbrook: Next question, please.
Maxey needs a running start to do his thing! When teams start putting an extra defender on his side...then what?
Doesn't matter. If you watch his game the kid is lightning quick and and blow by anyone.
Maxes the Ben Simmons killer lol ! He’s Awesome !,,,,,
If Maxey stays consistent and continuously improves it just lowers Ben Simmons trade value everyday. Shit. Darryl Morey might be good w/ trading Ben for a BLT and a coke.
His ceiling is crazy.
Go Cats!
Go Sixers!
Go Maxey! Dr.J Forever!
Bro kinda makes sense I’m ngl
If Maxey keeps working on his 3 he is going to be dangerous
he is like tyereke evans
ya take 25 steps backwards and comes up with Zero

Who’s here after Tyrese and Ja traded buckets and Tyrese scored 33
Maxey should be an all star this year.. he won’t cuz the all star game is a popularity contest… but statically he should
Tyrese Maxey is the second coming of Andrew Toney. He will be a scoring champion soon.
Now that harden is here Maxie is getting out of hand his 3pts shooting is gonna be even more!!!
This is what I've been saying
52/42/87….wow
