Wow I just saw the highlights vs the suns. This guy is literally like a poor man's Durant (that's a compliment given how great Durant is). He should've been a top 5 pick.
I'm sure vegas will take that bet and give you at least 10000 to 1 odds. Drop a hundred and you'll get 100k
Yeah I'm not going that far. I can see him blossoming into an elite 1, 2 or 3 time All star during his career.
I love the idea of a guy named Thon Maker making the NBA his b****. He looks scary already. Like, his face is scary. I would not want to see him on the streets, day or night, in an alley or in the mall. If there was a zombie apocalypse, he would either be the final survivor, or he would be the zombie king.
Keep in mind that it's summer league, and Giannis' passes might be crisp, but the recipient of the passes might not always make their shot.
In the NBA, this guy won't be like KD . He will play PF/C from the very beginning. At 16, he's already more filled out than KD was at UT. He's also far ahead of KG in that regard. I doubt Thon Maker will be leading fast breaks and beating people off the dribble from the 3-point line at the NBA level. He is very fluid, has handles, court vision and apparently can shoot. With his combination of lateral and vertical, I can see him becoming one of the best rim protectors the NBA has ever seen.
Reminds of Durant the way he moves and plays. He could be force in a couple of years if he's developed and given PT.
Exactly. This kid is KG more than KD. Nice quickness for that size and sure to get even quicker as his body matures but he isn't going to be able to get by NBA level wing defenders consistently. KG 2.0 is possible. I see him being a beast from 16 feet and in with the jumper and athleticism. Defensively, he is going to be scary as hell.
Better handles than KD. Kid will be a superstar in a few years. Bucks will be relevant. If they get rid of Kidd and get a real coach.
Only 4 players in NBA history have recorded a quadruple double I would bet big money Greek Freak will be the 5th by the end of his career. There was one game this season, he recorded 13 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 blocked shots.
Bucks should sign Eric Bledsoe Imagine a roster of PG - Bledsoe SG - Knight SF - Greek Freak PF - Jabari C - Sanders/Henson Most athletic roster in the NBA
