Tyrese Maxey is better than - Jalen Green, Tyrese Haliburton, Jordan Poole, Anthony Edwards and Darius Garland

[Farhan0311]

There’s only 2 players that Maxey is better than from this list.

And that’s Green and Poole.

Seeing as how Green is 2 years younger and in a significantly worse situation with worse spacing, a pg who's learning how to be pg and a inexperienced coach is scoring about the same on similar efficiency I don't see how Maxey is better.

[1st banana]

I’d say yes to Poole and green but not ant garland or Hali.

In fact he’s not even close to Hali or garland.

Shrimpy one way combo guards are a dime a dozen.

He’s put up numbers but I’d take any of those guys over Maxey.

Lol this kid is far from a dime a dozen, he might be the fastest player in the league in both transition and half court, while also being an ELITE 3 point shooter. He also takes good care of the ball with a career 3:1 a/to ratio. While he may be short for a SG he has the wingspan of a standard size SG AT 6’8”. He’s in year 3 averaging more ppg than all these guys. Oh and his work ethic is 2nd to none

Garland I know is hobbled with injuries to start the season but he isn’t on Maxeys level right now at all as he’s only shooting 36% averaging just 16ppg

Guess Garland read your post? Just hours later, he raised those averages to 21 & 8 on 41%.

We probably shouldn't be talking about "levels" when a single game can change everything, but what fun would that be?

All these players are roughly at the same level. Green is the youngest with the highest ceiling of the group.

Help me find good historical NBA comparisons for Maxey. Who is he similar to?

It's just not so easy to compare players who serve drastically different roles for their team.

Maxey is currently getting his chance to run the show while Harden is out, let's see what he can do with it.

IMO, the guys who've already shown they can score at 3 levels and create offense for others have the highest ceiling because those guys have the potential to become a #1 option - aka the guy opponents put their best perimeter defender on and game plan to stop.

A much better shooting and more athletic Tony Parker

[Hoop Hunter]

---------------- Pts 2% 3pt% Reb Ast Stl
Haliburton 20.6 49.2 42.4 4.5 10.4 1.9
Maxey ----- 22.8 44.8 40.8 3.4 4.4 1.1

[daschysta]

Haliburton has the Pacers as a top 10 offense, 3rd in ppg with a rookie, Buddy Hield, and Myles turners as his running mates. He's also more efficient, despite not playing off of another star and leads the league in assists. Maxey isn't on his level atm.

What compares him to Tony Parker?

[turnaroundJ]

jalen green is starting to show signs of playmaking and is only 20 years old. at 6'4 (6'5?) with ungodly athleticism, i wouldn't choose maxey over him. but sure he's better than green right now.

poole yeah maxey for now.

[xBulletproof]

I'm fine with thinking Maxey is better than Haliburton, even though Hali is gonna lead the NBA in assists for years. But they're in the same tier. That's a whatever. Eye of the beholder and all that.

We will ignore Haliburton is #1 on his team and Maxey has 2 future first ballot HOFs taking attention away from him. No idea how to quantify that in quality of shots. But he is not a better shooter than Haliburton. Maxey is shooting 70% from the corner and 33% above the break. There are different levels to shooters. Some guys are corner shooters and others are "idgaf where I am" shooters. Even from 25-30 feet Haliburton is shooting 45.5%. I would love to see the average distance this year, because I'm pretty sure last year the only guy who took longer average distance 3's was Curry.

Did you forgot to add /sarcasm?

Because this isn't really a case of "eye of the beholder", so much as the two players have different roles and fill different needs.

That's a part of eye of the beholder. Different people have different ideas about what makes a player better. Including the different skill sets that lead to different roles. What are you talking about? That was part of the reason I said it, it means exactly what you're saying, and then you come at me with that stupid first line.

Cool, last time I try to help you make sense.

Good. Nobody needs your "help", what an arrogant assumption. I made sense, clearly as you said the same thing I did. You just worded it differently and thought you were "helping" while saying I said something stupid in a smart *** way.

If you want to have a conversation, feel free. But keep the arrogant quips to yourself, or stfu. But don't be shocked when it's given back as you gave it.

Imagine not being smart enough to realize that when you're insulting, people will react as though they were insulted. Then to be arrogant enough to think they need your help understanding anything. Goofy.
