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?

No.

High volume scorers that are poor defenders are impossible to build a winner around. Dame is the highest level of that player type and his ceiling on his own wasn’t close to a championship.

If you can’t play defense then you have to be multi-dimensional and elite at some other part of the offense. Steph Curry doesn’t just score he opens up the entire fucking offense every position with us movement and scoring threat. If maxey reaches his ceiling then what’s a good player comp and how successful was that player as a team cornerstone
