Tyrese Maxey
“When Harden and Maxey play together, Philly will be taking away the things Maxey does best and asking him to do more of what he struggles at.”

Morey on @Tyrese Maxey and @Matisse Thybulle:
“Tyrese has a chance to be an All-Star in this league.
Thybulle easily could be Defensive Player of the Year, after Joel wins it first.
Both of them, sky’s the limit- and that’s a big reason we made sure they weren’t in this trade.” – 12:31 PM
Tom Moore @TomMoorePhilly
#Sixers Daryl Morey says keeping Tyrese Maxey and Matisse Thybulle in James Harden trade ‘was critical. Tyrese could be an all-star. Thybulle could be #NBA Defensive Player of the Year after Joel wins it first.’ – 12:30 PM
