I know how good I feel after smashing my 9 yr old son and his friends in a game of 21. This guy was probably living on cloud 9 for the past 6 years.

Especially when it's basically illegal to have sex for half of that time.

Trading away Knight and replacing him with MCW and then drafting Maker at 20. But hey, he's a raw 18 year old. Wait...he's 23 now. That organization is fricked. At least they have Giannis. Two years ago they were one of the more promising teams.

i couldnt imagine 8 years of high school. that is one hell of a scam to stick with

well he's from Sudan

his 8 years of high school are probably better than all but maybe the same time for 5-10 people living in Sudan

I can remember there being rumors amongst Louisiana AAU guys and high school coaches that Thon was older then they were saying, but most people figured it was 1 or 2 years because he'd come from Sudan. No one could have imagined him being fricking 19.

The best part of all of this is that the Bucks are the same organization that took Yi Jianlian, who claimed to be 19 but was actually 27. fricking clown show of an organization man.

So in those original YouTube highlights he was an 18 year old running around shitting on middle schoolers.


He didn't shite on all of them. I saw him play as a supposed 17U in an elite AAU tournament in Myrtle Beach against Karolina Diamonds who was a 15U team at the time and those kids destroyed him. I've never been impressed when I saw him play. He was extremely weak.

I would be disappointed if my team drafted him at all. I'm no scout, but he's a lock for the D-League IMO.

I imagine the LHSAA will have some questions... they might want to get a head start on that new association lol

Sure he was only there four games freshman year but I imagine some serious rules got broken

Eddie Bonine needs to improve his approval rating among the small public schools lol

If this dude sucks, can the Bucks then claim to have been duped and void the contract?

The Bucks took him 10th. Like what the frick even happened? Everyone is drunk.




Jason Kidd's agent, Jeff Schwartz(I believe is his name), is Thon's agent. It's a power play.

That guy represents about 5 Bucks including Kidd.

Maker is a perfect example of why what's good for the prospect is (likely) bad for the league

That's why he never went to college. You aren't getting away with that at a blue blood like Duke or UK.

Even when he was in school down here everyone knew the whole situation was shady but holy frick I would've never thought he was 19 in the 8th grade

which is why the age limit rule's intent is a good thing. It gives franchises more film to scout.

The Bucks, because of Kidd/Schwartz, basically said to prospects...hide from us and we will draft you higher.

Thon Maker got his arse handed to him by Skal Labissiere year ago...and he was a late first rounder, albeit because he shite the bed at UK.
