Maxey and Milton first met in 2017, while Maxey was a high schooler in the Dallas suburbs and Milton was starring at SMI. Maxey's father, Tyrone, was on SMU's staff.
PORTLAND, Ore. — When Tyrese Maxey was an eager-yet-talented high school basketball player in Garland, Texas, he regularly visited practices and games at nearby Southern Methodist University.
Coach Doc Rivers calls them “completely different human beings,” personality-wise, as Milton is incredibly subdued while Maxey instantly delights any room. Yet their bucket-getting mentalities are aligned, allowing them to excel at playing off each other. The most recent example: They accounted for 25 of the Sixers’ 41 bench points on 11-of-19 shooting during“We always push each other, too,” Milton said following that game.
Why are Maxey and Milton so complementary? They are both capable of playing on and off the ball, meaning either can initiate the offense if the other is being pressured by the opponent. They can both push the pace and create for themselves or others off the dribble, Maxey primarily with his explosive speed and Milton with more methodical dribble moves. They also can both be on the facilitating or receiving end of catch-and shoot opportunities from outside the arc.
