I think you just made his head explode.

I'd take Edwards over him easily and Garland narrowly. By seasons end maybe things will be different.

He’s the best scorer and the best shooter of the bunch and his lack of play making he makes up for in efficiency.

He’s averaging 24ppg on 52%fg and 48%3pt and those that say this isn’t sustainable have to realize he shot 49%fg and 43%3pt last season.

This year he has a great chance to make the all star team at just 22 years of age.

As a Sixers fan I wouldn’t trade him for any of these guys.

And that’s why you aren’t a GM lmao. Hali and Garland miles better. AE has a higher ceiling.

Jalen Green is terrible so that's not saying much. You could debate most of the others but there really is no argument for him over Garland.

Garland just scored 29 points and had 12 assists against the Celtics in a game they clearly wanted.

Read on Twitter

I'm not sure exactly what you're aiming for here, but this graph shows that Maxey is third from the bottom in efficiency when doubled. Harden is even worse and Embiid is pretty low. So basically what this is saying is that teams are commonly using trapping defenses against the 76ers as their big three are relatively inefficient when teams trap them. When Maxey is doubled, the 76ers score at a rate that's 7 pts per 100 poessesions lower than the worst offensive team in the league.

Why would it be hard to admit a guy drafted 21st is better than someone drafted 28th?

Better eFG% than Embiid, better 3P%, fewer TO (2.3 vs. 3.7). All in all Maxey is superior to Embiid.

Not better than Embiid but at this stage he’s every bit as good as Harden

Embiid gets tired and rolls around on the ground. It's time to trade him and build around Maxey. Soon you will admit this as well.

why not just trade him for another Maxey and have 2 ?

He's definitely better than Green and Poole. He's nowhere near Garland and Haliburton. Hali is averaging 21 ppg on 49 FG% and 45% from 3, along with 9 assists. It's not close.

Maxey will be an All-Star because he's an amazing shooter. But he's a terrible defender and an average passer at best. He's not one the same level as pure PGs like Garland and Haliburton.

No argument? If comparing third-year season stats (albeit a much smaller sample for Maxey), Maxey has a higher PPG and is more efficient from the field. And his career trajectory is going up. Is this the be-all-end-all? Of course not. I’d still choose Garland at this stage as he has more with his game (eg a much better floor general). I’d say Garland is a better combo guard and superior at the FT line when drawing fouls, while Maxey is a better specialist shooter. I have more confidence in Maxey making those outside shots. Both are excellent players though, and both have arguments for making the AS team this year.

Yeah, no argument. Even if you think Maxey edges him out as a scorer based on 8 games, it's a minimal difference, whereas Garland is much better at everything else. Not being as good as one of best young players in the game is not an insult.

Garland is a better player than everyone you mentioned.

Blacksheep25 · Post #36 » by **Blacksheep25** » Thu Nov 3, 2022 4:23 am

You do realize Garland just had an eye injury, it didn’t pop out and roll onto the court only to get stepped on and now he has a glass one? That scenario would make it closer.

I know it’s hard for you to admit this but Harden is better than Embiid.

Garland is the only one that's clearly better then Maxey

Not Simmons, I know you love him but the reality is, he sucks.
