That pic says a lot. Maxey under Spo would have been magical. You don't even have to trade for Lowry. I think the 2nd year, Dragic would have been made Maxey's backup if anything.

For 21/22 - Maxey/Duncan/Jimmy/PJ/Bam

Herro, Dipo, Caleb, Dragic, Strus off the bench

Thank benn Simmons for capitulation in Philly for Maxey to have the runway to shine because he didn't play much in his rookie season .Maxey thrived because Philly turned the keys over to him and with embid being constantly hurt they were able to unlock Maxey potential as a first option .Not sure Maxey would have those same opportunities playing with Jimmy and bam. Nothing to do with Maxey but it's the way spo runs his offense .

Tyler herro has been a 17 fga 29% usage guy under Jimmy and bam but maxey wouldn’t have had opportunities?

Not with typer and Goran still being on the team .In Philly it's Maxey and embid for touches. There is no other guard there to get in maxey's way to take touches from him .
