11月3日，据24直播网报道，ESPN资深记者Brian Windhorst与Tim MacMahon在《The Hoop Collective》的播客访谈中，对费城76人队本赛季的开局表现给予了赞扬，并对马克西的杰出表现给予了充分肯定。
Windhorst阐述道：“I had anticipated that the 76ers might face a few early-season hurdles, given the team's abundance of players accustomed to handling the ball. Who among them holds the upper hand in terms of offensive priority? How will these players forge a cohesive bond on the court? These are the challenges that need to be addressed. Nonetheless, a record of 6 wins and 1 loss stands as such. Maxi is clearly their standout player at the moment, and I believe that's a positive development. He is an exceptional game closer, and in discussions about the team's performance in critical moments, having such a player is invaluable.”
