The only knock I had on him was he played out of control at times and his jumper was ass
He fixed both of those areas it seems, one of the best young guards in the league right now

Exactly. I came in here to say his own agent doesn't love him.Ain't Rich trying to package him with Ben in a trade? All while breh is balling
Kentucky guards drafted in round 1 since 2015
Devin Booker at 13
Jamal Murray at 7
De’Aaron Fox at 5
Malik Monk at 11
Shai Gilgeous Alexander at 11
Tyler Herro at 13
Tyrese Maxey at 21
Immanuel Quickley at 25
Outside of Monk who had a solid year for himself last season all have proven to be excellent picks

It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if Paul tries to use Maxey as trade bait again in a Simmons deal to get him where he wants to go now that teams see how good Maxey will be.
I want him on the Nets, he’s special manBUMP
I TOLD YALL
He’s even better off the ball at his natural SG position. That fukk nikka Harden better keep feeding himHarden's helped him a lot. Moving to SG thanks to Harden has helped him, and Harden finds him a ton on 3s, in transition, and for opportunities to attack closeouts. James is in his ear a lot too to be more aggressive.I want him on the Nets, he’s special man
Harden's scorings been way down, but his distributing and leadership to push guys to be better and play the way they should be has been great. He's pushed Maxey to be more aggressive and willing to shoot(Maxey is also taking more stepbacks since Harden arrived), he pushed Tobias to be more willing to catch-and-shoot and be a quick decision maker which is where he's best, he convinced Niang to tone down the drives and gun up more of his 3s, etc.

Great glue guy, BJ Armstrong 2.0
Harden definitely helps him get off easier shots, but nah I think you’re giving him too much credit. Maxey has been balling all year, step back 3’s, pushing the pace on offense, etc. I’ll give you the aggression part. He’s more aggressive with Harden, but that’s just of virtue of not having to set the table all the time for everyone else. I saw a lot of games where he started off slow because he wanted to share the sugar and feed Embiid. He wouldn’t start being aggressive until the 3rd a lot of times. They need him to come out hot every game even if his shot is not falling. Sky’s the limit for him man.
He’s better at 21 and will be even better than BJ ever was in his playing career,

I was looking at it along the lines of being a babyfaced fan favorite and clutch role player. If you're old enough to remember, fans loved BJ Armstrong.
