11月3日，24直播网报道，ESPN资深记者Brian Windhorst与Tim MacMahon在《The Hoop Collective》的播客中深入探讨了76人队本赛季的开局表现，并对球员马克西的表现给予了极大的赞誉。
The remarks from Windhorst were as follows: "I had anticipated that the 76ers might face some initial challenges during the early stages of the season, given the team's tendency to hoard the ball. It raises questions about who among the players should take precedence in the offensive scheme and how they can forge a cohesive chemistry. These are issues that need to be addressed. Nonetheless, a record of 6 wins and 1 loss stands as such. Maxi is clearly the standout player for them at the moment, and I see that as a positive development. He is an exceptional finisher on the court, and when it comes to the team's performance in crucial moments, having such a player is undeniably vital."
