3 season sample size now of Maxey 2nd option hoops where he's been a very efficient scorer in games Embiid plays (60 TS%+) but an inefficient scorer in games without Embiid (sub 57 TS%).

Ironically though, as I stated previously, Maxey without Embiid (56.5 TS) is slightly more efficient than Cade is (56.1 TS) this season. But the difference is Cades a great playmaker & defender so impacts games in other ways when his shot isn't falling. Same case with your MVP level players (Giannis, Embiid, Jokic, Shai, etc) as these guys can dominate games in other ways when their shot isnt falling off (playmaking, defense or both of them). Maxeys not a good playmaker or defender so can't really make life easier for his teammates as much when his shots aren't falling.


But Maxey is a lot more efficient in minutes without VJ & PG than with them. It's not the case with Embiid cos Embiids the only good playmaker on this team so he creates everyone looks that no one else can create on this team.


Think people gotta stop saying Maxeys a #1 option on this sub reddit. Maxeys skillset is of a great Robin since he's amazing off the ball when playing off a heliocentric #1 option. That's why he plays so well off Embiid. But Maxey isn't a point guard either though yet we've shoved him there. He's a SG who's best off the ball but with VJ & Grimes on the team, one of our 3 young SGs have to play out of position and that's been Maxey.
