Tyrese Maxey’s young career with the Philadelphia 76ers has featured leaps in skill year after year from the guard. His team will need him to do it again this campaign.

With the 2024-25 season approaching quickly, now's the time to rank the top players around the NBA and to get a gauge of where each player lands heading into the new season. Philadelphia 76ers star Tyrese Maxey has morphed into one of the best players in the game due to the constant work he has put in and his willingness to want to get better every day.

The 76ers’ terrific offseason concluded with one final scribble of the pen when Joel Embiid signed a three-year, $192.9 million max contract extension last week. There was little surprise this deal — which takes the 30-year-old Embiid through the 2028-29 season — was finalized weeks after the superstar center became eligible earlier this summer.
