It’s silly to get to excited about any pick-up game clip – but Scottie Barnes hounding James Harden 40 feet from the hoop and clapping about it is awesome

Harden praises Scottie Barnes for picking him up full court at the Rico Hines pick up game -via reddit / August 8, 2022 Maxey thrived in the new role. He averaged 18.7 points and shot 48% from deep playing next to Harden. Now that the two have been able to work out in the summer, the young guard out of Kentucky is ready to build more with The Beard. “It’s gonna be great,” said Maxey at his 1% skills camp on Saturday. “Chemistry is everything. We only played like 20-something games together so for us to be able to have a whole training camp and an entire season together, it’s gonna be nothing but good things for us and a positive outcome.” -via Sixers Wire / August 8, 2022 On top of growing chemistry with Harden, the Sixers must incorporate new additions PJ Tucker, De’Anthony Melton and Danuel House Jr. The fact they will have a full training camp excites Maxey. “It’s good to have a full team and have a training camp and everything,” Maxey added. “Especially, with James and PJ and those guys coming in, so we’re just gonna go out there and be the best that we can possibly be.” -via Sixers Wire / August 8, 2022
