I dunno, who cares what players you can squint at to sort of see some vague similarities? Maxey obviously isn't a carbon copy of either--he relies way more on pure foot speed than either, to give just one example--and even if his game were a pretty close comparison to Lou Will's that doesn't tell us at all how good he is that role. I don't know, once we've seen hundreds of minutes of a player I don't get why we're still looking for comparisons--we know who this player is and what types of situations he can create or take advantage of, and we know what sort of things he'll have to do to turn that into a sustainable starting-quality NBA game. Just feels totally irrelevant to keep looking at other players at this point.
So your griping about people comparing a young developing player to a similar established player? Isn't that what literally every fan base does with young players? We know who Maxey is but not exactly who he can become , he just turned 21 and is not a finished product. Usually those players get compared to other players because they haven't reached a ceiling yet. We also have yet to put him in the 6th man role and this team right now is discombobulated.
