Tyrese Maxey's emergence as a legitimate all-star, and potentially superstar, positions him as the current leader of the Philadelphia 76ers. The team's future success hinges on building around Maxey's consistent availability and high-mileage play, rather than solely relying on Joel Embiid's intermittent brilliance. This approach involves acquiring versatile wings and defenders to complement Maxey, with Embiid as a powerful, but secondary, asset when healthy.
Impact: Medium. This perspective reframes the 76ers' team-building philosophy, suggesting a necessary shift from an Embiid-centric model to a Maxey-led future. It implies that the team's current trajectory might be capped if they don't adapt to Maxey's prominence.
