The Sixers know it, and want to see more of it. “That’s why I’ve been on him,” Embiid said. “He’s one of the best shooters and he has the potential to be up there. You know, a great stroke. He can really shoot the ball, great form and he makes them. “There’s a reason I’m always on him to just let it fly. He’s got to get up 10 to 15 threes a game. That’s how good of a shooter he is.”
What’s the buzz on Twitter?

Tyrese Maxey scored a career-high 44 points, carrying the Philadelphia 76ers without Joel Embiid to a 112-90 victory over the Toronto Raptors on Friday night. Embiid sat out because of a sore right knee. A five-time All Star and the reigning NBA scoring champion, Embiid is averaging 27.6 points and 10 rebounds in five games. -via ESPN / October 29, 2022
Keith Pompey: “He’s really gotten better, man,” Raptors coach Nick Nurse on Tyrese Maxey. -via Twitter @PompeyOnSixers / October 28, 2022
It was a good thing Maxey took the opportunity to get away when he did, because next summer is shaping up to be a busy one for him. There is the possibility of a deep playoff run. The likelihood of a contract negotiation that would make him a very rich man. And, if Team USA asks him, a trip to the Philippines. “I would love to play for the country,” Maxey said. “That would be cool. It’s always a blessing to represent your country, play with different guys, and go out there and compete.” -via The Athletic / October 25, 2022
