Who will have a Brighter Future Anthony Edwards or Tyrese Maxey?

[a8bil]

I think Ant man's athleticism makes this comparison difficult, apples to oranges. Ant man already has the best first step in the league. And yet it would be easy to find examples where off-the-charts athleticism wasn't enough to create an elite NBA player.

He's more than an elite 1st step. He's got everything...except experience. His biggest risk is that he gets little coaching to raise his BBIQ and is allowed just to become a ball dominant chucker. So many players in the league devolve to that when they get poor coaching or are on a team with a bunch of other lazy, stat-padding chuckers. Unfortunately, he's playing next to one now.

Not sure whether this is the best argument since Maxey had a 39-point game last year while being barely 20 years old.

Development isn't linear, so who knows, but Edwards is a far better bet obviously.

I mean, Anthony Edwards is over a full year younger than Maxey, so if anything it shows that Edwards is "further along" in his development at this point in his career.

wrong Maxey is only 9 months older so stop with the bs age thing. Maxey barely had a role on the team last year so he didnt get as many developmental minutes as edwards has so far so honestly they are basically at the same stage of development.

Believe it or not Tyrese Maxey has a higher 3pt% (43.4%) than Edwards fg% (42.1%) which is crazy!

I’m hoping morey has the foresight to sell high on Maxey! He is a liability on Defense & doesn’t exhibit any elite skill on offense to warrant the type of defender he is!

Only reason you don't hear us much about Quickley is that the Knicks have several other point guard including Rose and Walker.
With Simmons out, Maxey is the only point guard on the roster. Stats and impact are partially a product of opportunity.


IQ plays vs bench players and his numbers are bad. It isnt about Rose or Walker.

He started the season off slow ften he states how hard he is working on his Game lol
I’ve never heard a player flaunt how much work theyve allegedly put in
@ the end of the day I would take Quickley over him on the strength of shooting

I think OPs comparison is a lot closer than a lot of you are acting

Even if Maxey's a product of the environment he's in, he's doing really well with the opportunity. And Edwards has extremely poor efficiency. Edwards can be great - if the shot comes around, the AST/TO shapes up, and the defense improves. But right now he's an exciting volume scorer on a below average team

[SeanieWard]

I love Anthony Edwards but he might be getting overrated now..understandably

I don't think this is that crazy of a question. Yes, Edwards is the better player right now but Maxey is a damn good player. As good as Edwards is and will be he's still pretty inefficient shooting under 42% from the field and 33% from 3. Maxey on the other hand is super efficient shooting just under 52% from the field and 42% from 3. Very impressive if you ask me. Not to mention other parts of Maxey's game that is good like defense, rebounding and getting and finishing at the rim very well

And there's a ton of examples of players who were undoubtedly the better player at some point but became the lesser player as time went on. Steph Curry for example took a couple seasons before he became better than Tyreke Evans who many thought was the next big thing after winning ROY. Kyle Lowry, Jimmy Butler, Draymond Green, Siakim are some other examples of players who surpassed almost everyone in their draft class after being overlooked by many for a few seasons

My answer is Edwards but this is not a crazy question IMHO

[Wilfried]

The way Maxey is developping, this question is difficult to answer.
Edwards has the hype and highlights, but Maxey has the stats.

For a scoring guard, his ass/to of 3,14 is very impressive.

IMO Edwards has some serious shot selection issues. The potential is there but it's just that, Potential.

Both horrific on defense, wouldn't touch either.

Lol I’m glad your not the Sixers GM. The kid isn’t a defensive liability one bit. Just because he doesn’t get steals makes him a poor defender? He has guarded guys like Trae Young and had success. Yes his steals and defection #’s are not elite and he might have trouble getting around screens, but he does get a good amount of blocks and he also contest shots very well. Oh and he is a VERY Good offensive player knocking on the door to a 50/40/90 season in his 2nd year. So stop with the quickley nonsense! If he can’t beat out Kemba or drose for a starting spot why the hell would you think he’s better than Maxey? Maxey doubles quickley’s numbers across the board and their efficiency numbers aren’t even close. Why would bring up a bench guy who averages 7 points a game on 36%?

Edwards has been. Good on defense. Thanks for adding legitimately nothing to the conversation dude

You clearly don't actually watch games. Thanks for outing yourself.

He may be, but good coaching can guide him away from poor shot selection and playing within the flow of the offense...this is his second year, afterall. Dlo is irredeemable at this stage of his career.

First, my answer is edwards. That said, this thread gives me flashbacks of a real early wiggins vs Giannis thread. I must admit I thought people were crazy at the time giving up on wiggins so early and saying Giannis was better. Maybe it isn’t a coincidence that Minnesota is the common denominator.

[Murray_17]

You can make the argument that Edwards has more future based on potential but if you look at his current stats they're basically identical to what they were for his rookie season on more volume.

What's more worrysome is his %FT is actually down, which could indicate he's just not a good shooter.

The amount of FT's he's averaging also seem to indicate he's just a jumpshooter right now, which is a bad sign given the little movement on his numbers.

Edwards is very inefficient…he takes 20 shots to score 22.5ppg, that’s bad.

[timeaftertime]

It's just the nature of the NBA and how star-driven everything is now, I think. You're always going to take someone who has a 25% chance of becoming Dwyane Wade over someone who has a 75% chance of becoming Mike Conley.

(By the way, I just used these numbers/players as an example. I have no interest arguing Edwards chances of becoming Dwyane Wade or if Conley is the right comparison for Maxey. Haha.)

[Appostis]

This really a question?
