Here’s what Doc Rivers had to say about Tyrese Maxey, including a hilarious anecdote about the 21-year-old’s offseason: “He’s the most impressive young player I’ve ever had, in 21 years of coaching. His work ethic, Vince, is beyond belief. Many times already this summer, already two or three times, we’ve had to tell him to go sit down somewhere and go relax. “

So we know Joel Embiid is the NBA’s best center or second best, depending on who’s ranking him? But where does James Harden rank amongst PGs and the same for Tyrese Maxey amongst SGs? – 2:17 PM

More on this storyline

 

Doc Rivers: “He works with Sam Cassell and my son Spencer, they’re skill-developing coaches. He called Spencer two weeks ago because, I guess like Ros, he went on vacation. The difference, Ros, is this is the first vacation he’d ever been on in his entire life. That’s what he was telling us. I was like, ‘Wait, what?’ He was like, ‘No, I’ve never been on vacation. He asked Spencer, ‘What do you do on vacation?’ True question, what do you do on vacation? And Spence was like, ‘You relax!’ And [Tyrese goes], ‘For how long? For how many days? We’re going for a week, I can’t relax for a week.'” -via NBC Sports / August 4, 2022
