The Philadelphia 76ers may be forking out the money soon to keep former Kentucky Wildcats standout guard Tyrese Maxey.
Maxey, a 6-foot-2 guard, has exploded onto the scene over the last few seasons. The 22-year-old was taken with the 21st pick in the 2020 NBA Draft. He has meshed almost seamlessly with center Joel Embiid and guard James Harden.
As a rookie, Maxey averaged 8 points per game but has since become a scoring machine, averaging 17.5 per game last season and 20.3 per game this season, shooting over 48% from the field in both years.
