CHARLESTON, S.C.–The Philadelphia 76ers wrapped up training camp on Sunday afternoon in Charleson, SC and they were able to get a lot done as they prepare for the 2022-23 season. They were able to integrate their new pieces and they were also able to grow their backcourt pairing.
The tandem of James Harden and Joel Embiid is important, but Harden’s growth with Tyrese Maxey is up there in importance. The two of them are going to cause a lot of problems out on the perimeter with their shot creation and their passing.
As they wrapped up camp on Sunday, coach Doc Rivers was happy with what he saw from the two guards.
“Oh, they were good,” said Rivers. “Really good. As the week went on, you can see more and more, Tyrese exerting himself, understanding the spots, and you can also see James getting him the ball in his spots so that’s gonna be fine.”
The backcourt only had 21 games together in the 2021-22 season and as they head into the new season with title aspirations, they will need Harden and Maxey to continue growing their tandem. The play of their starting guards will be just as important as whatever they get from Embiid and the new additions for their title chances.
