After a breakout season in 2021-22, Maxey was unable to take the next step last year. He fell to be the 76th-ranked player in nine-category leagues, putting up steady averages of 20.3 points, 3.5 assists, 0.8 steals and 2.7 triples. He was able to increase his points production, but the same cannot be said for his peripheral numbers. With James Harden demanding a trade out of Philadelphia, it appears the time is now for Maxey. Although management has refused to yield to Harden, he has gone on the record saying that he will not play unless he is traded. If, in fact, Harden is not in the lineup on opening night, Maxey could very well find himself as the starting point guard. This in itself should result in a bump for Maxey, both in fantasy and reality. If he can demonstrate an improved passing game, a top-50 season could very well be in the cards. Read Past Outlooks

His father, Tyrone, played basketball at Washington State and is the Director of Recruiting for SMU's basketball team. Tyrese has three sisters: Denasia, Talia and Keiara. Maxey has seen every Marvel movie since 2008. Maxey played his high school ball at South Garland High School in Garland, Texas, where he graduated in the top 5% of his class. He was named to the 2018 USA Today All-Texas First Team and was a McDonald's All-American selection. After high school, he was tabbed as the No. 10 overall prospect by the Recruiting Services Consensus Index. For college, he chose Kentucky over Texas, Michigan, Michigan State and Oklahoma State. During his one year at Kentucky, Maxey performed exploratory studies in agriculture before opting to leave college to pursue an NBA career. Fans can follow the guard via @TyreseMaxey on both Twitter and Instagram. A consensus five-star recruit coming out of high school, Maxey was able to live up to expectations in his first and only season with Kentucky. He made his collegiate debut in a high-profile game Nov. 5 against Michigan State, scoring 26 points off the bench in a seven-point victory. Maxey moved into the starting lineup three games later and never looked back. His season-high of 27 points came in an OT victory Dec. 28 against Louisville, and he posted a season-best eight assists just a few games later against Georgia. When it was all said and done, Maxey finished third on the team in scoring (14.0 PPG) and second in three-pointers made (33). He made the SEC All-Freshman team and was second-team All-SEC before officially declaring for the draft shortly after the season's conclusion.

GPhiladelphia 76ers
May 15, 2023
Maxey had 17 points (5-12 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds and four assists in 42 minutes during Sunday's 112-88 loss to the Celtics in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
ANALYSIS Although the Sixers fell short for a second consecutive year, Maxey has proven to be one of the team's most dependable producers. The Kentucky product averaged 20.3 points, 3.5 assists and 2.9 rebounds in his third season with the Sixers and was an effective complement to James Harden in the backcourt.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Capable of being top option
GPhiladelphia 76ers
September 19, 2023
Maxey rained in 45.5 percent of 3.5 catch-and-shoot threes per game last season, via NBA.com. He also turned the ball over on just 8.5 percent of 717 possessions as a primary ball handler for Philadelphia last season -- ranking 13th in the NBA.
ANALYSIS Maxey is a prolific shooter, hitting 43.4 percent of 6.2 total three-point attempts per game last season. His off-ball dominance has allowed Philadelphia's offense to click efficiently, but he could be thrust into a tougher role with James Harden's future unclear. Maxey is undersized and he scarcely facilitated last season, but his peripheral skills and decision making are promising.
Maxey was one of the most notable breakout players of the 2021-22 season. Ben Simmons' absence before the trade deadline allowed Maxey to step in as the starting point guard, and his role remained stagnant after the Sixers dealt Simmons for James Harden. The 21st overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft, Maxey averaged 17.5 points, 4.3 assists and 3.2 rebounds in 35.3 minutes in his second NBA campaign. His shooting efficiency was excellent, especially considering the considerable increase in role and his age (just 21), with the point guard slashing 49/43/87. Impressively, Maxey also minimized his turnovers (1.2), making him a sneaky target in nine-category fantasy leagues. Maxey also played at a high level into the playoffs during the 76ers' series against the Raptors and Heat. Over 12 postseason games, the Kentucky product averaged 20.8 points on 48/38/94 shooting, 3.9 assists, 3.5 rebounds and just 1.8 turnovers in 40.4 minutes per game. Maxey's role will likely remain the same for this upcoming season, though fantasy managers can expect some improvement given his age. Ultimately, Maxey's usage will be capped given the presence of Harden and Joel Embiid. Still, he has already established himself as the Sixers' No. 3 option and someone capable of running a bench unit.
In his rookie season, Maxey was able to play very efficiently despite not having a set role with the Sixers. Of his 61 appearances, he played 20-plus minutes in 23 of them, but also played fewer than 10 minutes in 23 games. However, when the Kentucky product was given opportunities, he certainly showed promise, as he scored his career-high 39 points in just the tenth game of his career. In the entirety of the season, Maxey averaged 8.0 points, 2.0 assists and 1.7 rebounds while shooting a solid 46.2 percent from the field. Now, with Ben Simmons wanting out of Philadelphia, Maxey could be destined for a much larger role with the team in the 2021-22 campaign. If the 20-year-old can see enough minutes, he could gain relevance in deeper formats.
