Tyrese Maxey

Tyrese Maxey is a lightning-quick lead guard and the engine of the Philadelphia 76ers. The 21st pick in 2020 out of Kentucky, he won 2023-24 Most Improved Player and has kept climbing — averaging 28.3 points and 6.6 assists while leading the league in minutes in 2025-26, when he was voted an All-Star starter for the first time and named All-NBA Third Team. He carried a short-handed Sixers team to the playoffs and a first-round upset of the Boston Celtics. Maxey's speed in the open floor, improved playmaking and deep shooting make him one of the toughest covers in the league — a franchise guard in his prime.
