Not a single time during the Philadelphia 76ers opening game loss to the Milwaukee Bucks did Tyrese Maxey attempt a catch-and-shoot three. It may seem a trifling point to make. The team was missing their proficient advantage creators Joel Embiid and Paul George. The former is an MVP-center who scored more points per minute than anyone ever has last season and, if the defense could employ lunar forces, would draw the ocean in every time he had the ball. The latter is a smooth-operating forward who is so proficient at aesthetically breaking down defenses that younger NBA players call him the GOAT.
