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

[AussieBuck]

I'm usually pretty open minded.

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

He's also about the opposite of open minded.

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

He is thinner than Adam Silver.

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

The entire Bucks organization gave us the D for this pick.

(I guess I'm not over it yet)

I heard he wears a size toddler mittens.

Now that I can believe.

That guy should be fired. This is clearly an "F".

None of these writers ever give out D's as they don't to burn bridges with a team.....

Except when Arujo was taken 8th by the Raptors awhile back.

WAAAAH they didn't draft who I wanted to we need to do a bag night despite this being the most talented, young team the Bucks have had in 20 years waaaah

WAAAH, somebody living in reality tried to shatter my fantasy. WAAAH

My track record/reactions on Bucks' picks at this point is beyond reproach. I also have acknowledged the strength of the Big 3, which has nothing to do with the current f.o.'s decision makers if you're informed or honest w/ yourself. You have nothing but faux appeals to toughness when you're the one being whiny unjustifiably in reality.

You're an armchair GM with access to draftexpress, please knock yourself down at least 100 pegs because clearly the only thing above reproach here is your fragile ego

Dude. I might have to sign off. This is horrible.

I don't understand the age confliction honestly. It makes no sense to me. A person in Perth Australia claims he went to high school with Thon and he graduated at 18yrs old in 2011 and that's where this whole thing started. But he's lived in US and Canada since then and attended High Schools in both countries. Now how in the freaking world can you graduate from 2 different high schools in 1st world countries and not have ANY record of it and it's all just a guessing game?! It makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Granted maybe he wasn't 6yrs old when he left Sudan, but he sure wasn't 10yrs old, there's to big of a difference there. And he would've had to have been 10yrs old when he left Sudan for the story to add up to what it's being portrayed. It does not add up at all. Australia and Canada aren't exactly 3rd world countries where things like graduating high school aren't records that can be attainable extremely easily.

Has anyone even seen the yearbook pic that started this non sense anyway? Like I said its claiming he's 18/19yrs old in 2011 but he looks like barely a teenager and he's pictured in between 2 female classmates who also look no older than 14.

I guess it's really just my opinion but it's way more suspicious to me the circumstances being portrayed rather than believing it could actually be true.

I'm pretty sure the last post I made was saying that I wouldn't take Thon at 36. I feel like not doing due diligence overseas is the kind of mistake a GM on his way out the door might make.

I knew dropping to 10 was going to be a problem. Look at the value of 8. I guess playing Midz and Giannis 46 minutes in a meaningless game in April wasn't so meaningless after all.

All the guys in our range were dropping but that pick... I just hate it. I hope I'm wrong. I have been before (twice). But I don't think Thon is even a rotation player for years and if he is as old as has been suggested...

Ugh.

[GimmeDat]

Congrats on landing Maker, guys. I was surprised on the reach, but then again, the whole draft has been full of surprises.

He's a great kid and a hard worker. Could pan out amazingly. And you've finally gotten yourself another Aussie post-Bogut Woo!

I have been sneaking around on some other boards tonight. Lots and lots of dummies. Makes me apprecite the camaraderie and insights and troublesome gifs you all shine in to my life.

Spent the last 10 minutes trying to figure out from this picture if he can palm a basketball

[bucksbrewers3]

So we get him in his prime on a rookie deal! Sweet

You're crazy. Thon is going to be our new PG.

Screw the 6'11" PG, try a 7'1" PG!
