Harden's Philadelphia debut is getting closer. Before playing, Harden can't wait to join forces with his new teammates, and one of the players he looks forward to the most is young Maxy.
Regarding Maxi, Harden put it this way: "His energy, his energy is too cute, he is getting more and more adapted to the game, he is becoming more aggressive. He's reading the game properly and I can't wait to play with him and I feel like we can complement each other. Harden said.
Born in 2000, Maxi is 1.88 m tall and plays as a defender. This season, he has averaged 16.9 points and 4.6 assists per game, and as a second-year player, Maxi's performance is remarkable. With Simmons not playing a game this season, Maxi has provided Philadelphia with a lot of firepower and relieved embiid of the pressure.
Now, Harden can't wait to team up with the young guard. Next, they are likely to be Philadelphia's starting backcourt. Given that Maxie's shooting ability is not bad, shooting 39% from three-point range this season and averaging 1.4 three-pointers per game, Maxie is also expected to get more opportunities around Harden. At the same time, he can also create more opportunities for Harden.
Philadelphia are currently in third place in the East, and after completing a trade with the Nets, they are also widely expected to lead the East. But in the end, can they surpass the Heat and bulls? Can you beat the Nets with Durant, Irving and Simmons in the playoffs, as well as the Bucks? It also needs to look at the chemistry of Harden and Embiid.
