 This is  Thon miked up. Have to admit I like him more after hearing him talk while playing. I didn't like his shoot around video which I will post also.

 Season highlights from his past year.

 He's got a long way to go, but potential is certainly there.

Thanks KG for the videos (TP given).

I know these are just highlights and it is high school completion but he made a very wide range of shots and overall looked very acclimated on the court.  There was some good anticipatory rebounding, some fast break lane-finding, a few good back-door cuts, and in general found where to be so he could be a target for a pass.

It was not just over powering or shooting over the top of smaller players.

I think there will be better options with the Brooklyn pick but even with the Dallas pick, he should be a consideration.  We just don't need any more mid-draft level traditional players.  We already have Sullinger, Olynyk, Rozier, Young...

I say take the chance and also see if we can get KG to come back and coach him.  That is the luxury of having so many picks.  It is really no big deal if we take a chance on him and he busts.  We will still have more draft picks than we need or can actually place on the roster.

I can post a highlight video of rolling a die that shows I am great at rolling 2s if I move my wrist a certain way.

He looks very promising.  It will be really interesting to see what happens once Pre-Draft season really ramps up.

On the other hand, if we all didn't already know better, you could probably also post this video, pretend his name is Gavin Kernett, take it apart with nitpicks, drown it with qualifiers, and convince a lot of smart people that he's a gamble years away from being an NBA contributor.

I wonder if he will drop out of the lottery... I think if absolutely kills in the Combine, he can be picked #3. There's some ballers in this draft... but only two other guys you can really see taking the league by storm.

If we drafted him, I would send him to France, Greece or Spain.  If he does good there then great, if not, it was worth the gamble.  Someone with that size should be at least averageish in Europe and those leagues are legit.  I don't think he's had the pressure to win before and the D-League maybe isn't the best place for that.

He does need a year at least physically, in order for me to put my stamp on it. But he would be a good pick and maybe we can grab him with the BOS pick....that would be very good.

I agree, people right now are lukewarm on Maker, but he looks pretty ideal. Is there a reason Bender is getting such an amazing amount of hype, but people are scoffing at Maker even being a first round pick? His stock is going to skyrocket soon; it's just going to take a few more weeks. Expect him to be taken well before the Dallas pick. An NBA GM can't take the chance of letting him fall past late lottery; not with his potential.

 That's why I wanted to show recent videos. His body looks much better, he was comically skinny 2 years ago.

 Still the most recent weigh ins are 218 and 219 pounds in 2015. But he's the body type where if he adds 5 pounds it's all muscle.

 He's gotta to be close to 230 right now
