    First guy comes to my mind after Wood’s injury is him. Good length, can catch lob and shoot 3. Get him now Rafael!

    From a Bucks Fan on Reddit....

    Sterling Brown :

    "He's a bonafide scrub. He can't play! No disrespect whatsoever but I'm sorry i gotta tell everybody the truth the man cannot play the game of basketball. He has small hands he can't catch the ball. He's got bad feet he can't really move even though he's mobile. Doesn't really know what he's doing. Doesnt have a post move that he puts to memory that he can perform two times in a row. He has no game whatsoever. Plays no defense. Doesn't have the heart, the passion or anything that comes with it."

    Hard pass, Dude got waved by cavs bro.

    He got waived because they are flush with front court players. We are not in the same position.

    What does that have to do with being waived? Are you saying CLE just threw away a player of value in trade?

    He was a victim of the Harden trade. There is no doubt every team in that trade said "No thanks" to CLE trying to pawn Thon Maker for value,

    so
    .he
    ..just
    ...got
    ....waived

    to make roster room for the trade

    He definitely is behind the curve on D as compare to others on this roster. He has to improve his awareness, he ball watches way too much and it constantly burned back door. The only one with pt where it happens consistently.

    Dude. You look like a silly jerk when you post crap like this.

    I.

    Know.

    He.

    Got.

    Waived.

    He was the person waived because they had forward depth. On another team, which lacked forward depth, a guard likely would have been waived. No one says he's going to be some major signing, some crazy value proposition. If Wood is out indefinitely, this team desperately needs a backup center, and Maker is the best available one without a trade.

    LOL. You edited just to add periods in front of your separate words? How embarrassing.

    let me repeat ... when you get waived as part of a 4-team blockbuster trade involving 10+ players ... it means you have zero value.

    The team tried, but no one wanted you

    What's your alternative? It's easy to yell at others for discussing options. Far harder to actually put your thoughts on the line.

    man, sounds like you have a problem with ppl having alternate takes to yours.

    No. I have a problem with people typing their alternative takes in an abrasive manner, then doubling-down by adding periods for emphasis. You want to discuss basketball? Then do so without the dramatics.

    Dewayne Dedmon is still unsigned as well.

    But I'd sign Jonah Bolden over both of them.

    As I figured, no original thoughts. Just criticism.

    my thought is, I'm pretty confident Thon Maker is not a good basketball player, from both watching him and especially since he didn't survive a 4-team blockbuster involving 10+ players

    he's got Bruno attitude and IQ all over again
