 Funny, because I was never high on Scal.

Thon is also super skinny right now.  He's a project who could be a good rim protector down the line and interior presence. 

He's the new age Manute Bol as far as I'm concerned except shorter.  Stockier like Gorgui Dieng with range. 

If Gorgui and Bol mated you'd have Thon Maker and both those guys turned out alright.

Manute couldn't create separation either.  Majerle is like ****.

Also Manute vs the Fridge. I think the Fridge was getting tired there and Manute had a pretty long reach.

I've always known there was something about some players on offense, but I never had words for or a precise eye for it. This describes it perfectly. I will use this for now on on player evaluations.

This has been nagging me for months, but I finally figured something out: Thon Maker is the Kimbo Slice of the draft.

If I was 7 ft and 19 years old ......KG would have been my idol too.

At practices in local gyms ,   Guys said Thon swatted away everything in sight.   He was a monster and very intimidating to other kids on the court.

"This is my gym .".....KG all over .  ;D

Well except the part if he was KG, he'd be in consideration for the top pick of the draft.

KG went 5th when everyone was still scared to pick HS kids...

Scal talks out his ass all the time because he's trying to gain attention

Watch the Spurs draft Thon Maker and make every other franchise look foolish, once again. Specifically the Celtics if they have 2 chances late to pick him.

He's going to Denver with their third pick of the first round
