He didn’t get them looks they would’ve gotten from Embiid let alone an elite playmaker like Harden or Haliburton because he’s not as good at playmaking as they are. Theres a reason why most players on the Sixers effeciency drops in minutes Embiid is off the floor but not when Maxey is off the floor (e.g. Melton, Oubre, Tobias, Batum, etc). But Daryl knows this which makes it even more foolish that he hasn’t tried to trade for a backup PG that’s great at playmaking.
It has nothing to do with the quality of passer that Maxey is, it has everything to do with gravity. Does Maxey lack gravity? Not really, but the other players DO lack gravity.
No one honestly cares about Batum Beverly or Covington and they definitely don’t care about the two scrub bigs we played last night either.
So when you’re trying to run our actions, here’s a perfect example: Reed in the DHO actions. He actually set some pretty good screens but he’s not Joel so defenses can sag off, and they can also stay on shooters.
It wouldn’t matter if said shooters could actually shoot, but they can’t(The LA game, be damned). Well, can they at least put the ball on the floor and create? LMAO. Spoiler: No they can’t.
So they lack gravity and they lack shooting. And so they will need absolutely perfect conditions in order to produce. That is a fault of theirs, not Maxey.
Like I said, I counted at least 5 passes and probably more(I’ll make a compilation video of said misses, foul calls, etc) because I am tired of what I can only describe as point guard ignorance.
