In a remarkable ascent through the NBA ranks, Philadelphia 76ers' young star Tyrese Maxey has secured the 11th spot on ESPN's prestigious Top 25 Under 25 list. 

Maxey, who was drafted by the Sixers as the 21st pick in the 2020 draft, has consistently displayed his talent, earning recognition as one of the league's rising stars. With players like Luka Doncic at the top spot, Maxey finds himself among an elite group of young talents.

The players ranked above Maxey on the Top 25 Under 25 list have had varying degrees of success in their careers, with notable names like Anthony Edwards, Tyrese Haliburton, Darius Garland, and Jaren Jackson Jr. all making appearances. 

The 2023 top pick, Victor Wembanyama, also joined this exclusive club at the third spot.
