I noted the same thing about Maxey last couple years. He couldn’t really score against a set defense or if he wasn’t going down hill.

That’s no longer the case. Dude a student of the game and paid attention to how James played.

yup



first it was only the floater.

then he became a 40% shooter from 3. He also started taking Dame-like 3's and hitting em

Harden comes.

then he learns the stepback and the sidestep going left.

now you have modern day Maxey, who is also a much better defender. You dont see this version of Maxey if we trade Simmons to another team. Breh literally sat back and watched Harden run the offense and improved on what he saw. Before that Maxey would do an entry pass to Jo in the post and then disappear on some passive shyt. Thats why Doc benched him last year in place of melton..he didnt think Maxey could be a point guard with Embiid on the floor. Now he's top 10 in A/T ratio in the league and just turned 23 last week :banderas:

At the top.
In the game yesterday there was a rebound where Mitchell extended his arm over CP3's shoulder trying to rebound it. You see CP3 grab his arm and pull it down on his own shoulder with both hands.
