I will always defend Maxi as a versatile defensive player and a winning player.
But he is so one dimensional at this point in his career that he just cannot be played reliably against good teams. He stepped up great vs. OKC. He is currently sucking the life out of the team against Boston. He's not just bad on offense, he's actively hurting the team by having the ball. Whether he refuse wide open 3s, dribble it out of bounds, missed layups, getting blocked. He's reached Ben Simmons level on that end of the court.
