Jaylen Brown Leaves No Doubt About Who Leads the 76ers
Philadelphia 76ers new addition Jaylen Brown made it very clear who leads the team at this point in the 2026-27 season.
The Philadelphia 76ers have made a strong start to the 2026-27 season, winning their first seven games and facing only one loss against the Detroit Pistons. The team's all-time great additions of LeBron James and Jaylen Brown have formed a formidable starting five. However, it is evident that Tyrese Maxey has emerged as the clear on-court leader for the new-look 76ers.
Maxey has been averaging an impressive 29.1 points per game through the team's first eight games, surpassing even Jaylen Brown's 20.6 points per game average. When questioned about the team's leadership, Brown confidently stated that "Maxey's been leading the way, 100%." Brown acknowledged that Maxey and Joel Embiid have been with the team for a while, emphasizing the importance of complementing these talented players.
The 76ers' strong start has drawn attention as they prepare for a rematch against the 6-1 Detroit Pistons, who they recently defeated.
