Tyrese Maxey: 6.9
Joel Embiid: 6.6
James Harden 6.2

I think his passiveness is just who he is at this point in his career. Even last year I felt he was too passive. Sure he’ll have games where he’s more aggressive and shows flashes of his prime but mostly he’s just happy being an initiator/facilitator at this point in his career and doesn’t do a whole lot once he doesn’t have the ball.
