The NBA released the first voting tallies for the All-Star Game and Tyrese Maxey is far from the best at his position in the Eastern Conference. With his 480,062 votes, the back of the Sixers displays a nice score, but pales next to those of Tyrese Haliburton and Damian Lillard. The Indiana star has already collected 1,380,795 votes, and the Portland alumnus is behind with 955,751.
Clearly, it seems very unlikely to see the Philadelphia player catch up with the two playmakers by the end of the votes. However, Nick Nurse sees him as an All-Star this season.
“He has solid arguments”estimates his coach for Sixers Wire. “I think everyone saw that he had made quite a leap forward. I attach a lot of importance to the team's position in the standings. Many people talk about this. Its very important. Looking up, we see who has an impact on the winning teams, right? »
If Philadelphia (third in the Eastern Conference) logically relies on Joel Embiid above all, the best scorer in the league is perfectly supported by Tyrese Maxey. The latter actually averages 25.9 points and 6.4 assists.
“His stats show he's an All-Star or very close to it,” continues the former Raptors coach. “I think a lot of our team's success can be traced back to him, so he has a very, very strong record. »
