My very first reaction is he'll have flashes, but mostly in the playoffs. He seems like a guy who could benefit from someone like, I don't know, KG? but I don't know what that would actually translate to on the court. His hands seem really bad. Maybe, maybe, if the Bucks ever hire a coach who embraces modern NBA basketball he could have a role because his stroke is solid.

I'm predicting by the '18-'19 season we're wondering if he's worth keeping on the roster vs some D-League castoff from UNLV.

Holy ****. I am absolutely shocked. AND, I am absolutely enamored with the weirdness of this pick.

At least it wasn't Dejounte Murray I guess?

I dunno

Go big or go home I guess

Woj says Hammond loves the kid. I trust Hammond.

Pizza Man wins....

Rather have him than D. Murray, but man, D. Davis was sitting right there. That one hurts.

We didn't have time to wait for a full rebuild, so we needed to draft a seasoned 27 year old rookie.

Disappointingly intrigued.

I love it.

Ersan thinks this kid is lying about his age.

Also....let the Thon puns begin!!!!! : ) (Maybe this will be fun)

Damn, Paul, you called it. Make me feel good about it. Gotta love the sheer athleticism. Preferred this boom/bust pick to Skal, but damn... still a scary pick!

Fortis St. just messed his pants up.

My initial reaction is this guy is 23 years old. It's Yi all over again.

But since I couldn't post this for five minutes, I have to admit to myself that Hammond has gone out on a limb before and nailed it. Thon Maker is a very intriguing prospect. But I loved the Giannis pick. I hate this pick. This is the second straight year the Bucks have taken a guy I don't even view as a first rounder.

Why the hell not?

I'm just glad it wasn't D. Murray or Ellenson.

You're a heart breaker. Thon Maker. Love taker. Don't you mess around with me.

Hammond should have been out of the league 3 years ago.
