Joel Embiid has high expectations for Tyrese Maxey in the future.
for six games, the Sixers found their postseason run cut short as the second-seeded Knicks defeated Philly twice at the Wells Fargo Center.
“I mean, it sucks to lose, the goal is to win a championship,” said Sixers center Joel Embiid. “Anytime that doesn’t happen, that’s all I care about. I don’t care if I got to the second round, it does not mean anything to me. We just didn’t accomplish what we wanted to.” With the former first-round pick becoming a restricted free agent, Maxey is in line for a big extension. It’s clear at this point that the Sixers value the young guard a lot — and if there was even a hint of doubt about what he brings to the table — Joel Embiid cleared any of that with his recent bold claim regarding Maxey.Bill Streicher-USA TODAY Sports
Embiid knows all about taking the next step as a player in the NBA. While he was drafted much higher than Maxey in his class, it took years before Embiid stepped foot into the MVP spotlight.
