Tyrese Maxey | The Last Hope For The Philadelphia 76ers

The Philadelphia 76ers are stupid, have had easily the worst off-season in their last 10 years, and the future looks murky at best. As a fan of this god-forsaken franchise I understand why people would check out on this team. 95% of it is apathy, and just not taking this team seriously. Its all deserved after the team flamed out in the playoffs. However, rather than making a video that literally every other person has made about the 76ers, or the shortcomings of Joel Embiid. I instead chose to focus the on one of the 3 or 4 things (that I can think of right now, I'll inevitably talk myself into more things to get excited for because being a fan of a team is a sickness) that I'm actually excited about heading into the year. The growth of Tyrese Maxey. I can't even begin to think where the Sixers would be now if they didn't draft Maxey (again thanks to Mike Muscala for helping that pick convey to us). Maxey has been a revelation. He took another outlier leap this year, and with James Harden out of the picture, I look forward to seeing Maxey as the #1 ball handler, because I'm going to bet on a hard worker like Maxey every time. We've seen the results of his work to a great degree. I talk about what improvements Maxey can make, how Nick Nurse could get creative with Maxey, and how Maxey and Joel Embiid can form a nasty two man game.
