2017 NBA Manifesto

29th June 2017

Thon Maker
C, 7’1, 216lbs, 20 years old, 1 year of experience

Despite the fact that he was supposed to be as raw as anyone, Maker had some good moments, including in the postseason. Able to track driving opponents defensively, combined with shot blocking instincts should they get to the rim, as well as offensively showing some stretch potential (37.8% three-point shooter as a rookie is very nice, even if it tailed off late) and being a pleasingly good passer, his ceiling looks really good. The massive foul rates and poor rebounding will be key steps to rounding out his game, but that’s quite the package of skills he has. 7’1 players that laterally quick and defensively minded are very rare.
