But through two games, Maxey has undeniably been the third star of the Sixers’ Big Three. He was asked following Sunday’s game if his success was attributed to playing off the ball. “Honestly, it’s just basketball IQ and feel of the game,” Maxey said. “Throughout my short basketball career, high school, I played mostly on the ball. In AAU, we had different guys that could bring it up. So I was on and off the ball. So I just pride myself on being a basketball player and being able to do both. “I know when James is not in the game, … I’ll probably have the ball in my hands and have to create for myself and others.”
