Thon Maker

[MannyO]

I know ballislife highlights can make prospects seem ALOT better than they really are but.. this guy is NEXT for sure. 7'1 with that skillset at that age, Crazy.

The big man era is here :applause:

[kennethgriffin]

reminds me more of kevin garnett than kevin durant


his jump shot mechanics wont translate into a three point shot from nba distance.

and his going to be 7-1 or 7-2 by the time hes done growing. he won't be able to handle it like a 6-10 guy outside.

but he could turn into another KG

Of course he won't be breaking the ankles of starting point guards in the league but he still will be able to handle the ball well.

Being the next KG is not so bad.

He said he didn't want to reclassify in the 2015 class, but he's staying in the 2016 class. I want to see him in the NBA as early as 2016.

His teammate can't finish a layup so he dunks on him :lol

[ottooooooo]

thon maker is an awesome name:bowdown:

[russwest0]

Yeah, lets see just how easy it is for him to score from the perimeter like that vs top level college competition :oldlol:

[outbreak]

Exum Maker and Simmons are the boomers new big 3 :applause:

[Milbuck]

Looks impressive as hell..but a lot of the stuff he's doing there is reliant on him playing guys that are not only tiny compared to him, but are already not as athletic as him. He has a ton of skills that he shouldn't have at his size, which is understandably the reason behind his hype..but none of those skills are refined enough for him to lean on when he's playing against guys that can match his athleticism and most of his size. He could be great..but I'm gonna hold off on freaking out about him until we see him go against legit competition in college. Trying to think of how some of the stuff he's doing in that video is gonna be possible when being guarded by someone like Kawhi in the NBA.

[Brook(lyn)Lopez]

Thon a Maker dance.

[LAZERUSS]

He certainly looks skilled enough.

He reportedly is 7-0 200 lbs with a 7-2 wingspan, and I suspect that he will probably be taller and longer, and will surely gain weight.

What I would be concerned with, however, is that he shot 28% from the 3pt line, and just slightly over 50% from inside it. I just don't see any reason why a seven-footer should be taking three's, unless he is a marksman along the lines of a Dirk.

IMHO, he should be working on his post game, and learning to shoot with either hand.

Here is a high school player that he should be emulating...

[Ass Dan]

not sure about the wing ability, but that kid in the high post or low post would kill.

Crazy good prospect.

[brain drain]

Meh. Would be more impressed if his first name had a g at the end.

A year out of highschool and turning 19 in the calendar year.
