Tobias Harris on Tyrese Maxey: 'I think he's an All-Star'
What are your expectations for Tyrese Maxey this year? Tobias Harris: I think he’s an All-Star. I think he’s going to show people his playmaking ability as well. I think he’s such a great shot-maker and somebody who makes tough shots. It’s impressive, especially with the threes he makes off the bounce, and to be able to shoot it at a high clip. I think we’re going to see a big leap for him this year.

While Clippers, Sixers are at something of a standstill in James Harden negotiations, Tyrese Maxey is navigating another point guard melodrama with speed — and without an extension. “I understand it’s the business aspect of it,” Maxey told @YahooSports.

This is the most decisive the Sixers have looked shooting the ball thus far in preseason. If it’s not a Maxey pnr, it’s a c/s three on minimal touch time. One way to really up the pace. – 7:49 PM

More on this storyline
Regarding James Harden, do you guys try to tell him we’d still love to play with you and build off last season, or do you guys not get involved? Tobias Harris: Nah. I think nobody has any ill will or hard feelings on that situation. We’re just taking it day by day and seeing where it goes. What are fair expectations for the 76ers this season? Tobias Harris: As a collective group, we expect to win every opportunity we go out on the floor. We’ll see where that leads us, but we also know we have a lot of work to do. As a team that went to the second round last year and lost a seven-game series in Game 7, we want to be back in that spot and change the narrative. -via HoopsHype / October 17, 2023
You’ve made over $211 million in your career, but one accolade missing from your resume is an All-Star selection. How do you feel about that? Tobias Harris: I think I’ve made the case a few years to be there (an All-Star). It’s something that, as a player, you strive to get. I think after the first one, where I thought I should’ve made it, I kind of said, “F it.” There are 12 guys that make it, and it’s a tough thing to get into. A lot of it has to do with team success as well. I just let that be my fuel of being on a team that’s No. 1 or 2 in the East or when I was in the West. -via HoopsHype / October 17, 2023
Tobias Harris on free agency: “You can go on teams and put up numbers, or you can be on teams that actually have a shot to make a championship run” Entering a contract year, how do you approach it? Tobias Harris: Control what I can control. That’s coming in every day, being a professional coming to work, and perfecting my craft. This is my 13th season in the NBA. One thing I tell all the young guys in here is it’s about winning. It’s about figuring out ways to be the best team. You can go on teams and put up numbers, or you can be on teams that actually have a shot to make a championship run. For me, it’s about being in this situation right now and figuring out the best ways possible for us to win as many games as we can. -via HoopsHype / October 17, 2023

Gina Mizell: P.J. Tucker is also a late scratch tonight due to right ankle soreness. He went through pregame warm-ups. Oubre will start in his place alongside Maxey, Melton, Harris and Reed. -via Twitter @ginamizell / October 16, 2023
Reserve guard Jaden Springer had his second straight solid performance, finishing with 10 points on 4-for-6 shooting. Starters Tyrese Maxey and Paul Reed had 17 points and 10, respectively to give the Sixers five double-figure scorers. The new strategy is “making everybody a threat on the floor,” Harris said. “Obviously, we didn’t have Joel and James, but I think you can see the overall theme of moving around, playing at a good pace.” In the first game, the Sixers’ defense also displayed plenty of its training camp work. But the offensive changes are what stood out most. -via The Philadelphia Inquirer / October 12, 2023
