Tyrese Maxey VS Immanuel Quickley

[Reign23]

how on earth could you take IQ here?

Did you watch Maxey when we played him? He's not all that.

then offer the sixers IQ for him and see what happens

[Reign23]

maxey is better right now. no question. he's way more efficient. could quick one day be better ? who knows. he'll probably never get enough minutes here for it to happen though because we're not interested in developing or even letting the kids shine to increase their value for this supposed superstar trade we're gonna use them for. the knicks brain trust are a dumb bunch. then again, most of you wanted to bench him after 5 or so games because he struggled a little, so you're no better.

maxey got 31 minutes in october before anyone was hurt and averaged 15. in november he's getting 40 minutes and averaging 20. quick gets 16 minutes a game and averages 7. you gotta play to put up numbers.

Maxey ... He actually has a legit handle. IQ handle is ass overall. Its what limits his ability to be starter. Maxey was considered the better player since College. IQ basically became a bench player at UK because of Maxey coming in.

Why would I do that? When your starting lineup is out somebody's gotta score.

because you said maxey is not all that and because the thread is about IQ vs maxey?

They have different games though, what's happening for Maxey isn't just minutes, his shot is coming around. He had the handle / finishing that IQ lacked but his 3 point shot was trash, now he's hitting threes and it's hard to guard him. IQ doesnt have his burst/finishing ability.

i said he's better now but you never know the future. one could stagnant and the other could develop more. a year and a month is too soon to call it. last year at the end of the year it was the other way around.

Maxey has the handle, it's just too hard to develop that, and most importantly he gets to the rim because of it. I don't see IQ closing the gap, there's just too much of a difference in handle/burst that if Maxey is making the three there's no way IQ can close the gap.

I think Quickley could put up similar numbers if given the same opportunity. Advance stats like RAPTOR favor Quickley (+4.1 total) a lot more especially on defense (+1.1 Def. RAPTOR) while they list Maxey’s impact as a negative (-1.0 total).

Either way they are in the same tier as players. Maxey is the better driver and finisher, Quickley is the better shooter and defender.

I’m still taking Quickley as his ability off-ball makes him a more valuable player

in all seriousness, all i ever really said is i don't see a future all-star. and i still don't. i never said bench him. what is the point of that ? if he can't even be a starter how will you ever trade him for a star ? or even for value ?

Terrible person. Not supportive of RJ like the rest of us.

IQ is the same player he was coming into the league. Floater and a 3, those are his only two moves. Based on the season so far, I genuinely cannot tell you what he worked offensively this past off-season to get better.

Who would even know in 10-15 minutes a game anyway right?

Maxey is a stud he is taking the leap I thought IQ would have this season

He is being featured so it is not entirely possible to judge IQ because of Maxey's current success

True Sixers not having any players gave him the opportunity to shine but still

Even if IQ were being featured it's the rim finishing that Maxey is just miles ahead, they played around the same mpg last season and Maxey attempted 3x as many shots at the rim at a slightly higher FG%.


For IQ to take the next step he has to be able to get to the rim, that's what Maxey does extremely well regardless of whether he's featured or not. At the end of the day Maxey was drafted before we had a chance, so we can't get too bent out of shape, other than it gives the Sixers another weapon unfortunately.

Maxey ... He actually has a legit handle. IQ handle is ass overall. Its what limits his ability to be starter. Maxey was considered the better player since College. IQ basically became a bench player at UK because of Maxey coming in.

That drop means nothing to me. That was more bad defensive positioning than anything. IQ does NOT constantly break his man down off the dribble...thats all the proof you need to know his handle is sus. You trap IQ full court and its cookies. IQ handle is not impressive at all. He caught a dude one time, and hasn't come close since.

[robillionaire]

I like both players, I’m not sure. I wish we just drafted both

[RHODEY]

Why would I do that? When your starting lineup is out somebody's gotta score.

because you said maxey is not all that and because the thread is about IQ vs maxey?

So why would I try to trade for someone I said "aint all that?"

But honestly Maxey is a good young player who is getting the minutes to shine. I think IQ would do the same (in his own way) under the same circumstances.
