Rivers heaped high praise on the 21-year-old, saying he is the most impressive young player he has ever coached in his career. Here's what Rivers told Vince Carter on his podcast, The VC Show: “He's the most impressive young player I've ever had in 21 years of coaching. That's how impressive he is. His work ethic, Vince, is beyond belief. Many times already, this summer, at least, one or two times, we've had to tell him to go sit down somewhere and go relax. He works with Sam Cassell and my son, Spencer, they are our skill development coaches. "He called Spencer two weeks ago because I guess he went on a vacation...This is the first vacation he'd ever been on in his life. It is what he told us... He asked Spencer, like, 'What do you do on a vacation?'" Tyrese Maxey's massive improvement in his sophomore season last campaign was key to the Philadelphia 76ers managing a top-four finish in the Eastern Conference. Maxey capitalized on Ben Simmons' absence and bossed the starting point guard role. He also did remarkably well once James Harden took over as the team's primary ball-handler upon his arrival.

They have failed to get past the Conference semifinals since their last Finals appearance in 2001. This time, they have one of the best squad depths in the league. James Harden taking a $15 million pay cut allowed them to sign free agents PJ Tucker and De'Anthony Melton. Joel Embiid has continued to play at an MVP level, while Tobias Harris has been solid, and Tyrese Maxey is expected to improve his numbers from the last campaign. Philadelphia 76ers@sixers @TyreseMaxey52240 @TyreseMaxey https://t.co/AVOrbEaspx Maxey was unfazed in last season's playoffs, which is impressive for a player his age. The 21-year-old grew into the role of a secondary scorer and emerged as a reliable option outside Joel Embiid and James Harden. That could make Maxey the "X-factor" for the Philadelphia 76ers next campaign. If he starts pulling defensive attention toward him, it opens up the floor for Embiid, Harden and Tobias.

The two Philadelphia 76ers superstars have struggled to stay healthy and will need plenty of rest before the playoffs to be fresh. × Rate this story! Thank You!
