Thon Maker looks like garbage, and has no discernible NBA talents. There's also the speculation that he might be as old as 25.

I'd take him if we swap 2nds with Milwaukee (so they move up), but I wouldn't outright pay a second for him.

I'd give up one of the latter two 2nds for him. I mean what difference is he to Kaba, or any G league 7 footer.

His one discernible talent was to be a big that can shoot 3's.
He's not even averaging 3 rebounds since he was drafted, if you think Len has bad hands, see Thon's - even worse, for a 7 footer can't dunk without a running start, can't finish on the fast break, gets out muscled in the post by guards.

Thon had every chance to grab the backup spot behind Lopez, the Henson got injured and he still didn't grab the spot - if Bud can't fix him...mmmmmmm.

Having said all that - MIN/LAL 2019 2nd for Thon.
