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

[SirChurros]

Buddy of mine on Facebook is drinking the Thon Kool-Aid big time. So much so that he said, "who cares if he's 25, we have enough young guys." JFC

Show the rest of the page or the surrounding pages so we know what exactly we are looking at. I mean, if that is legitimately a picture of the graduating class then it would be absurdly easy to prove he's much older than he's claiming to be. That picture is only proof he was in school somewhere at some point at some age.

He's been running the same age since he migrated from Sudan. I really don't get this angle at all. He isn't Yi in China changing his age sometime in his teen years.

he might of been listed younger for other reasons than basketball, does he have any older siblings? How old were his parents when he immigrated?

You're not following the conversation.

Everyone around him is now 22-23 years old. Susan Chuot is an AFL player born in 1992

Right, he spent his formative years in Perth FFS, not hidden from the world in a somewhat closed community. If he'd graduated 5 years ago it would take all of 3 minutes to prove it.

I heard he wears a size toddler mittens.

Not sure if this has been posted yet, but he couldn't even put the ball in the hoop in last year's Nike Hoop Summit game. http://basketball.realgm.com/highschool/nike_hoop_summit/stats/2015

Is AussieBuck his dad or something?

Sabonis. Felt he was a safe ten year vet.

The fact that the Thunder traded Ibaka for him makes me think your right.

I'd say Oladipo was the prize possession, not Sabonis. Ibaka wasn't traded for Sabonis, OKC laughs at Sabonis for Serge

he really thinks he can shoot, doesn't have confidence in his dunking and rebounding ability...

Pretty sure his dad is still in Sudan so thankfully I'm not him.

What a weird draft. Wasn't in favor of him at all prior to the draft but honestly, with all those guys who were in our range dropping, it got me thinking...we were probably arguing over which guy would end up the best bench veteran anyway. I'm starting to come around to Thon, but then again, we just picked a guy who we don't even know how old he is.

And he's another Schwartz client. Really interesting pick.

Now that I can believe.

Center piece was obviously Ersan. You have to remember, only a few years ago he could have got us pick #3.

[Garbs_7]

Maybe his parents said he was 6 when he was 11 to get a free meal at restaurant on kids eat free night, and it all spiraled from there.

Judging by this pic, I think Thon is pushing 50.

DX writer on Yahoo gave us a D for this pick.

Yikes.

[VooDoo7]

I'm usually pretty open minded.

Bud, you pretty much burned all your Bucks gear when they traded Knight.

[Nycballa2k]

Huh? The Giannis pick was loved by the vast majority.

half the posts were "the league he played in is equivalent to high school competition"

No. No they werent.

Thanks, I totally needed you to tell me what I experienced for myself.

Maybe he had a brother that was 19 or whatever and they changed both their ages so they could get refugee status so they could stay together. It could be an immigration issue.
