Who is Tyrese Maxey?
Drafted by Philadelphia with the 21st pick in the 2020 Draft, Maxey dazzled locals and strangers alike from the start with his confidence. Perimeter 1.88m. With great athleticism, a very good long shot, and an uncommon audacity to break through giants, they transform him into a disruptor that is not abundant in the NBA. He started out as a breath of fresh air off the bench, but he’s already a necessary piece for Doc Rivers.
Tyrese Maxey, leader by necessity
James Harden’s injury, a Joel Embiid not 100% (he didn’t play against the Wizards on Wednesday, November 2nd) and veterans getting into the swing of things have Tyrese Maxey taking charge of the Pennsylvania team. Even with Harden on the floor, Maxi is after 9 games of the season…
2nd in team points (24.2)
2nd in team assists (3.4)
2nd in percentage of 3 units (46.8%)
3rd in minutes on court (37.7)
Tyrese Maxey’s new role without James Harden
The Philadelphia 76ers roster was built around Joel Embiid and James Harden from the schematic and also in the salary section. Because of this, Doc Rivers has an unbalanced roster, with multiple shooting wings (Tobias Harris, Matisse Thybulle, PJ Tucker, Daniel House) but without ball holders or organizers.
Of course with James Harden on the court all offense goes through him and for many seconds of possession. The beard he is capable of solving on his own or providing assists to his shooters. If he stays healthy, there’s no need to burden a team with similar attributes.
Without James Harden, the only one mentioned as a possible mastermind of the Philadelphia attacks is Tyrese Maxey. Good one-on-ones, the ability to create his own shot, a decent ability to find the best position, and most of all, a composure in tense moments, make the youngster from Texas the best alternative to Rivers in the in Harden’s absence.
It remains to be seen this month if he is able to carry that responsibility.
What are the upcoming Philadelphia 76ers games?
Tyrese Maxey’s side have a big opportunity on the calendar. He will play 7 of his next 8 games in Philadelphia.
