THON MAKER Y'ALL (Bucks pick him 10th)

6 Year olds are like 3 foot 3. For **** sake people.

here is the Sudanese high school kid that turned out to be 29.

really uncomfortable with this pick, do not understand it at all at #10 with so many other bigs and the fact we could of traded back and still got this guy probably

Think Bern hit the nail on the head with the $ amount available at 10 as opposed to the 20's. 'You scratch my back, we all get rich'.

Those Aussies in Perth must be idiots if they can't tell the difference between a 5 year old and an 8 year old.

Once a child is old enough to escape the dingos, they don't care.

Obviously they drafted Thon to help teach Giannis how to shoot

I would guess this guy is 23 rather than 19

there's a reason why he's skipping college

He's skipping college because of the sleaze that's been his handler for the last 5 years. Wants a quick dollar now.

Don't know how this came into my head, but I think I would rather effort Sanders than draft Manute Bol.

Because he's a top 10 pick without wasting a year and millions of dollars to play for free in college?

Even if you like Maker... We could have traded back. Ugh. I'm so confused. Why am I a fan of this team?

What great player did they pass up?

[VooDoo7]

It's all fun and games until Thon is retiring in 4 years because he's really 31.

Thon's wiki page says he was born in 1993!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thon_Maker

Born 25 February 1993 (age 23)
Sudan (now South Sudan)
Nationality Australian / Sudanese
Listed height 7 ft 1 in (2.16 m)
Listed weight 216 lb (98 kg)

We'll then hurry up and change it to 1997. It's Wikipedia, anyone can do it:

we picked him I guess but he wasn't projected this high

kind of reminds me of the Saer Sene pick

I mainly am just fascinated by this. Still no firm opinion on Thon.

That's me. I'm both excited and terrified by this pick. All i saw was clips of him playing against mostly little white kids.

[DH34Phan]

Even if we traded back to 20-25 and "missed" out on Maker, it's looking like we still would have been able to get Ellenson, Davis, or Baldwin.

We would have gained more assets and probably have been able to unload MCW or Monroe in the process.

I really feel as though Maker would have been available at 20.

[JayMKE]

and ffs Maker is an Australian national too? We can't escape you people!

Canadian white kids.

But how tall is that in Australia? I don't trust you guys...

amen.

Sounds exactly like little cleo.

You realize this guy just said he'd take Denzel Valentine over Buddy Hield.

So?

1) Tjarks is legit
2) It is quite possible that Valentine ends up the better player than Hield.

[VooDoo7]

Davis thinking right now that maybe he should've been awake during all of his interviews.

[Diggr14]

I like how the reporter just asked if Thon is even a roster player..
