The Philadelphia 76ers drafted Tyrese Maxey with the 21st overall pick in 2020, directly between Precious Achiuwa and Zeke Nnaji. He had averaged 14.0 points, 4.2 assists and 3.9 rebounds per game in a heavy minutes share in his only season at Kentucky, but had not really shone in any area of the game; while he had few weaknesses and played with energy, he was not a huge athlete, a sub-par shooter, inefficient from many areas of the court as a scorer, unremarkable as a defender, and with mostly scoring inclinations as a playmaker. It quickly transpired, though, that Maxey's stand-out attribute was his work ethic. The player before us today is a hundred times better than the Kentucky Wildcat of two and a half years ago. Indeed, he is one of the most rapidly-improving players in the world. - @MarkDeeksNBA (follow me on Twitter before it, or I, die)
