Milwaukee Bucks: Player Power Rankings (Jan. 5-Jan. 11)

Thon Maker. 11. team. 89. In his one appearance, Thon Maker received his season-high for minutes. Already having received the praise of NBA great Kevin Garnett, Thon added to his resume with a five-point performance on 2/2 shooting in his 13 minutes. In coordination with his shooting, Maker knocked down another three-pointer. Measuring in at 7’1″, Thon’s ability to knock down the three is not only impressive, but something that could come in very handy for Milwaukee. The kid has now appeared in 15 games, in which he has made five of his nine three-point attempts (55.6 percent). Posing a ridiculous offensive rating of 131 is awesome, even if the sample size is just a total of 68 minutes. <p>Now, let’s take a look at how Thon is doing amongst his peers. The following ranks are among all NBA players that have played less than 75 total minutes for the season (including some injured players, such as Jerryd Bayless).</p> <p>Points: first<br /> Rebounds: second<br /> Three-pointers made: tied-first<br /> Field goals made: tied-first<br /> Blocks: first<br /> Win Shares: first</p> <p>The minutes aren’t there yet, but don’t worry Bucks’ fans. Thon is coming.</p>. C.
