Can Sixers build around Tyrese Maxey as its franchise cornerstone? (alien.top)

Looks like the start of another great season for Maxey, who is fast becoming the only bit of good news for a Sixers locker room in flux.

But I do wonder, can Maxey be more than that? Maybe he can be the franchise player that the Sixers need for a fresh start? And if that question is valid, can we go further and say: might as well get the most out of an Embiid trade and start the Maxey process asap

Basically am just curious about how the fans rate Maxey. Is he a real deal like Ant, or just another young all star in the making?

Maxey has another step he must take as a playmaker to be someone you can truly build around going forward. He's not quite there yet but he is definitely improving. He's more an awesome second option scorer at this time. What was great was seeing he playing well off Embiid last night as their chemistry has been slightly ragged at times.

He had 8 assists last night but if you watched the game you'd recognize the reads weren't the most advanced. He's not a high leverage playmaker at this time yet. I think it's important to the Sixers success this season he continues to grow in that department and especially going forward when Harden isn't in the picture.
