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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.
