Going into the 76ers’ game on Dec. 30 against the Nets in Brooklyn, Maxey was 36-for-100 from 3-point range, an improvement over last year but still only 36 percent – just above the league average of 35.2 percent.
Then he magically transformed into one of the NBA's top 3-point shooters.
That night, Maxey hit a career-best five 3-pointers on six attempts in the 76ers’ 110-102 win at Barclays Center, despite 33 points, 10 assists and 14 rebounds from James Harden.
And he hasn't slowed down.
Maxey went on to shoot 45.5 percent from 3 in January, 39.5 percent in February, 44.0 percent in March and a ridiculous 54.3 percent in April. That’s the best April in 76ers history, breaking J.J. Redick’s 52.3 percent figure from 2018.
