Maxey averaged 24ppg, 5apg, 4rpg on 51% shooting in 14 games without Embiid/Harden this season, your posts are peak blind homerism
He could score 100 points doesn't make him a better PG.

So, he’s just a better player? Do you not read what you type before you send it?

I’ll promise, this is not going to end well guys. IQ is just not (ever going to be) on that level. Nothing wrong with that.

IQ will reach Maxey level with a starting job. They were never that far off at Kentucky and nothing has changed other than opportunity. Ben Simmons asking out would have been equivalent to Randle asking out and IQ getting a starter's spot.

I'm more upset now that we didn't move up two more spots for Maxey. 23/9/8 in game 2 of the playoffs after dropping 38 for the "not a PG". I know you are real upset right now

Speaking of Cole, IQ is not even on his level but here you are going to war for the worse player once again
I mean IQ probably puts up the same numbers or better than Cole if he got the same 30+ minutes a night that Cole gets in Orlando. Even with his slow start

LOL agreed,

I mean what level are we even talking about here? All this talk about Maxey who is so great, what does he project to be since IQ will clearly never reach that and a lot of you seem DEAD set on that based on 6 career starts and limited minutes for a 2nd year 22 year old?

My projection for Maxey is one of the best PGs in the nba and all-star. We had pick 8 and 19 before they started getting cute. Great job Knicks!!! Franchise deserves to burn

If we had a real front office next year would be about seeing if

* IQ can be a quality starting point guard, playing him 82 games as a starter.
* Can RJ Barrett progress to an average shooter at the SG position (unless he grows 2 inches and can play SF) so we can gauge his next contract with some accuracy.
* Can Obi Toppin be an average 3 point shooter at the 4 and improve his defensive ability to occasionally switch and stay.
* Can Cam Reddish not be injured and not be atrocious when he does play.
* I'm not super worried about Grimes being at least a replacement level NBA player because his shot is just great looking and he's engaged defensively, and is at least an average NBA athlete. I think seeing if he can be a defense bending off ball player running off pin downs would be a natural next step. That would require a coach who isn't a pale fossilized orc.

This all assumes a vet dump this Summer which is fantasy land.

promise you'll stop

I missed the convo between you two, but are you suggesting Maxey is not an up and coming star? Because he absolutely is. He just went into freak mode and closed out this game against Miami.

This comparison is silly, and truth be told it’s hard to compare any of our young guys to what’s around the league, our organization doesn’t do a good job of putting players in a position to succeed and they end up boxed in or broken because of it..

The heat with a few less herald players out of college and watching the sixers give maxey an honest opportunity when he has earned it actually burns a bit.. IQ and Grimes and I suspect Duece would all be getting mins on either team with a real chance to grow because of defensive effort and the ability of the alphas on the court..

What do you think the poll would look like if IQ spent the season passing to Embiid?

Forget just passing to Embiid...

His gravity alone changes the entire way your team is defended.

He shouldn’t be upset though. Might as well call him Voshon Lenard or Juan Dixon.

I know. Everyone wants to make a player the next high level guy.

IQ not bad for where he was picked.

He's had two years, and I think most players show who they are by season 2, or enough to make a guess, but still, one and done guys, I think there's still something for it taking 3 and 4 years.

A few more years we'll have enough sample size to see if it's mostly years 3 and 4. Maybe it comes down to knowing in year 2 just like it was back in the day of 4 years of college and then 3 and then 2. Might be.

He’s a keeper, but Maxey already topped Cuttino Mobley and I doubt IQ can eve do that.
