His weight keeps him from dominating the entire game but he will make big plays at times. The people who are taking care of him are ruining his career by putting him in college and ultimately the pros 1 year younger than he should be

Yep, all they care about is getting paid a year earlier.

Guy needs to gain 50 lbs AT LEAST. He could add 75+ on his frame and still look thin I think.

He has a frame like durant. He's a SF/PF if he gains 50 pounds and played the post there would be nothing special about his game

Thon Maker + 50 lbs would be Durant.

Maker is listed at 218 which is probably generous. Durant is 240 AND 3 inches short than Thon.


Durant - 6'9" 240
Maker - 7'0" 218


Durant was 215 when he was at Texas. So he was already bigger than Maker. Maker has a HUGE frame and looks like Manut Bol. 50 lbs would disappear on him.

Chris Johnson was 6'11 190 and looks even bigger than Maker, I doubt Maker is over 200

Agree.

I bet he's very close to that number or lower. He seriously looks like Manut Bol.

Only player who looks more malnourished then Maker is Brandon Ingram. They list him at 195, but there is absolutely no fricking way he's a pound over 170. Like you can see the different parts of his elbow and shite. He looks like a perpetually high, light skinned African child.
