41 minutes played, 40 points (13-24 FG; 7-9 3FG; 7-8 FT), 6 assists, 2 rebounds, 1 block, 2 steals, +/- of +3!

The Sixers’ backcourt duo of Tyrese Maxey and VJ Edgecombe balled out tonight in the Sixers’ win over the Celtics! With Joel Embiid easing his way back into things in his first official game back after a full summer recovering from knee surgery, Maxey led the way for the Sixers to make a comeback win, having trailed by 11 points heading into the 4th quarter!

Just so this isn’t taken down by the mods, just want to say this post is Maxey-specific (unlike any others posted), and has more in-depth stats than the other one showed.

Maxey, Edgecombe and McCain is gonna be elite trio backcourt rotation for the foreseeable future of the Sixers. They will be the cornerstone

If Philly didn’t tie itself up with the dead money of Embiid and George, they could be the next OKC Thunder with the amount of youth talent they have.

They could then use the 70% of the cap they have used up on some actual superstars and this team would be in the Top 5 of the league for the next half decade at least.

NotJoeyWheeler | 76ers

“Use the rest of the cap on superstars” sounds great except you can’t really get stars in FA anymore

if we didn’t get PG it would’ve probably been “use the rest of the cap on Brandon Ingram, or KCP and Kuzma”

Harden really elevates Maxey’s development and he has been a star ever since.

Professor_Crab | 76ers

He shoots 3s more boldly and it suits him imo, instilled him with some real confidence

Say what you want about James, and I’ll say a bunch, but this definitely true. Harden helped Maxey more than any sixers coach has.

unbelievre | 76ers

16 | 12 hours ago

He actually showed out in the playoffs the year before that when Simmons went down. He was carrying.

Edit: But yeah that doesn’t take away from your point that Harden definitely was a great influence on his game. I was just saying he played like a star even before Harden.

They will. As soon as it’s time to pay McCain and VJ, Embiid and PG will be off the books. In the meantime they loaded up with young big wings to develop with them

Sixers got insanely lucky trading Fultz for essentially Maxey. If Muscala doesnt hit that shot, it would of turned into a 2nd rounder too

There should be a 30 for 30 on this. Muscala hitting that meanless shot and Covid not giving Maxey a tournament run, which, I think would have made him a lottery pick is insane happenings.

To be fair its his 2nd game(really his first) in almost a year. Hes still ramping up. That said to see them win a game in a shitty Joel performance is great. Building around the young core is the plan. If Joel factors in, even better
