Tyrese Maxey had his best game as a pro vs BKN. 20 mins. 16 pts. 0 TOs. 23% USG

But defensively is where he REALLY stood out 👇🏻
Fighting thru a hard Allen screen here to force a bad pass. Relentlessly pursuit by Maxey
Similar play. DJ tries to stick Maxey with a screen. Fights thru the contact and uses his speed + length to create another TO
Watch how Maxey recovers laterally to contest the shot. The length is real. Allows Embiid to stay home and clean up any mess
Off the ball it’s all IQ man. Maxey takes away a rolling DJ. Recovers to chase the shooter off the 3 pt line. Forces the extra pass
OVERALL: Keep paying a close eye on Maxey defensively. It’s what is going to earn him consistent minutes this year

And also, how do you only credit my man with 1 steal @NBA?
