Now the Tyreese Maxie that's going into an excellent situation with Philadelphia's. We take a look at player highlights brought to you by eight. Yeah, okay, we'll get to that in a minute. Tyreese working out, getting a pretty good, uh, pretty good mentor on LeBron James Ben Simmons there as well, and he's going to get a really good look at them now. As I previously alluded to player highlights brought to you by 1800 tequila, though we certainly don't recommend that right before you start playing. Here is Tyree's faxes. You can have one if I say wingspan enough. UH, tyreese Max. He's a shot maker, a guy who he only shot 29 30% from three, but he shot 40% for three against Top 25 competition. I think his shooting stroke is good. He just needs to get it more Upton out. But that's not gonna be a problem. He's a combo guard. He's got a quick first step. He's good defensively. He fights. He guarded Jordan were when they played Louisville. Good in the mid range. He passes well, I think, as he refines his game, he's got a great spirit about him on the floor. Seth Greenberg says he plays with great joy, and I think that's true. You know, it's not unusual for players to watch film, but they usually don't start in the second grade. That's what Tyrone Maxie did with this son. Clearly, the bond this family shares is incredible. Tyreese, Your mom says that your parents knew that you would be an MBA player when you were five years old. What do you want to show your family that you could do in this league? I just want to show them that compete and do what I know that I could do. I trust myself. I put the work in on and I'm just so excited. I'm so thankful. What have you learned from the time you've spent playing with Rajon Rondo and the like? Oh, mother, It of mine. Oh, yeah. I'm sorry. It is a big moment bringing somebody from Mondo. I learned so much to Rondo. I really appreciate it may take the time out of his day every single morning. Teach me that trick to the trade. And, uh, I just want to say thank you so much. And I thank you for this opportunity. I promise you, it won't be regret. Congratulations, Tyreese. Thank you so much for joining us, Reese. Back to you, Mallika Tyreese. Thank you. That Kentucky Connection working for Tyreese as he worked with Rajon Rondo. Pleased to be joined by the new head coach of the 70 Sixers, Doc Rivers. So DACA getting getting things started there in Philadelphia. What's your first draft night as the head coach of the six has been like, I was been great, you know, working with El Din Darrow. Uh, Peter Prosper the owners. It has been really good. Good nights. I kind of just sit and listen. But pretty soon, pretty soon you're gonna be called on to lead. So what is it that you think you can bring to this franchise with the pieces that you have in place in some extraordinary talent that can elevate them to that proverbial next level? You know, it is a talented team starting with Jo Ellen. Then on then when your name all the other guys we have. Ah, huge supporting cast here. Uh, you know, we have to learn how to win. You know, we've proven here that you could do a lot of winning and win a lot of games, but we have not proven yet, uh, to be the winner. Um, but I like the team. I like the talent defensively. I think we could not just be a good defensive team. I think we have the chance to be one of the best defensive teams in this league. And if we start with that, I think the offense will come. Well, what's your reaction to the draft pick that the Sixers just made you guys just made with Tyree's Maxie? Very happy, competitive tough. Um, you know, when you have a guy like Ben who has the ball, you don't need a pure point guard. You need guards you need players on. I think Paris kind of fits that mode. Well, Doc, thank you so much for spending time with us. Congratulations on this Pick in the draft and you're gonna get started Pretty soon. We look forward to seeing the six years under your direction. Thanks really soon. That's right. Really, really soon. Thanks for watching ESPN on YouTube for live streaming sports and premium content.
