When people think about Tyrese Maxey, the first attribute that comes to mind is probably speed. The 23-year-old guard is one of the fastest players in the league, either with the ball in his hands or while racing down the open court.
On the other hand, strength and physicality are probably not top of mind when describing Maxey. He is listed at 6-foot-2, 200 pounds, large for a civilian, but not so much for an NBA player. However, it’s definitely an area Tyrese is working to develop, and we saw it on both ends of the court on Tuesday night in Philadelphia’s 110-97 win over Chicago.
