Doc Rivers on Tyrese Maxey: 'He's never had a bad day'
Rivers said on the Woj Pod (at the 23:00 mark) that Tyrese Maxey always comes to work and that his personality is what all coaches want to see from players. “First of all, he’s never had a bad day,” Rivers said of Tyrese Maxey. “And he helps me…I think, since he’s been here, he’s had two days where I can remember that he was emotionally down…When we lost to Miami, that last game, he was down. You could feel it in the game. And then he had another day. Those type of guys, as a coach, you just don’t want them to ever get spoiled. You don’t want them to ever change. You want them to stay in that happy zone.

#Sixers guard Tyrese Maxey, once again, set the tempo in the first quarter. Doc Rivers said he wants him to continue doing that.
“The thing is none of those plays, we didn’t call Tyrese’s number once. We’re getting it in transition. He’s playing off the guys. – 10:49 PM

Cavs turned up the defensive intensity in that second quarter, but Sixers still leading by double digits at the break. Maxey cooled off after a hot shooting start, and Harden is 2-for-6 from the floor but has five rebounds and three assists. – 8:11 PM

Melton pushing the ball off the rebound set up that wiiiiide open corner 3 by Tucker. Sixers are undersized tonight but have three guys on the floor who can initiate. The Melton-Maxey backcourt combo could be particularly electric this season. – 7:18 PM

Tyrese Maxey is a quick 3-for-4 from the floor — and the miss rattled around every part of the rim before popping out. His efficiency has been insane during the preseason. – 7:15 PM

From Doc Rivers:
-Current thought is Harrell and Reed will each be every-night guys in some form, though backup 5 mins. are still a competition. Team has practiced w/each at 4.
-Sixers won’t treat tomorrow’s game as a “dress rehearsal.” Feels good about ramp-up plan for starters. – 12:44 PM

“He comes to play every night, he competes, he’s tough but he loves it and he’s having fun doing it,” Rivers continued. “And his work ethic is contagious. Those are the guys that give you energy, that makes you love coaching.” At Sixers media day, Rivers named Tyrese Maxey as one of the three hardest workers on the team during the offseason. For a young player to get the praise he does is a great sign of things to come as Philadelphia looks to make the most of a championship-contention window. -via Clutch Points / October 11, 2022
Lauren Rosen: James Harden on what sets @Tyrese Maxey apart: “His work ethic. He puts the work in. He listens. He learns. He goes out there and continues to want to be better.” pic.twitter.com/ub4Q0GLUZR -via Twitter @LaurenMRosen / October 10, 2022
If Wednesday’s postgame words were any indication, he’ll hope respect begets respect and not demand anything from the referees. “I appreciate the refs,” Maxey said. “They’re great. They’ve been doing a great job. They’ve been tasked with a very hard job. A lot of our guys probably are tough on them. So they’re doing a great job and I have nothing but respect for every single ref in our league. “I just go out there and try to play hard, go to the rim, and sometimes draw contact, get to the line and help us move the scoreboard.” -via NBC Sports / October 6, 2022
