Tyrese Maxey

Daryl Morey thanked Tyrese Maxey on Tuesday for the patience that enabled the Sixers to have a big summer.

Tyrese Maxey and Paul George spoke to the media after signing new contracts with the Philidelphia 76ers.

Philly certainly has plenty of depth at point guard now. Tyrese Maxey is the starter, with Jackson, Kyle Lowry and rookie Jared McCain as the other options. It's unclear what the rotation will look like, but there isn't enough point guard minutes to go around, which means that these lead guards will have to spend time playing off-ball roles. Outside of Maxey, there won't be much consistent fantasy value in the backcourt in Philly.

Dowtin and 76ers coach Nick Nurse have been connected since their time in Toronto, and that will continue into the 2024-25 season. Dowtin played well for the 76ers in summer league and has earned the right to return after joining the team on a two-way in March. Philadelphia has Tyrese Maxey and Kyle Lowry at the point guard position, and first-round pick Jared McCain is also capable of filling that role. Dowtin's signing will not impact fantasy basketball.

Dowtin has given the 76ers solid point guard play throughout the summer, likely improving his chances of sticking with the team in some capacity. He won't be a player to target in fantasy drafts, as the 76ers will have Tyrese Maxey and Kyle Lowry on the roster. However, injuries could put Dowtin in a position to offer streaming value occasionally.
