“On the 10th day of Bucksmas, Milwaukee sent to me…10 pick of Maker, nine shots for Beasley, eight retired numbers, seven years of Ray Ray, six games with Big Three, five months no Khash, four more years of Plumlee, three second rounders, two cornerstones, and a Greek Freak at the 15th.”

Although the Bucks have seen very little play from their rookie, all of Milwaukee has to be excited about the arrival of Thon Maker, who was selected at pick number 10 this summer. After seeing how well the Greek Freak has done as a high potential player in Milwaukee, one has to be confident in the possibility of Thon becoming a high-level player in the next few years.

As I have detailed before, Thon has the ability to become a great stretch-4/5 option for Point Giannis a few years down the road. The Bucks already have youngsters ready to take the league by storm in Giannis and Jabari, but when adding in a healthy Khris Middleton and an NBA-ready Thon to the roster, things will start to get interesting.

This also includes the attitude that Thon possesses. Kevin Garnett has already met with the 19-year-old and has commented on the fire and drive that Maker has, making him even more of a fan-favorite, even before he’s gotten to see quality minutes from Jason Kidd.
