Milwaukee Bucks: Player Power Rankings (Feb. 2-Feb. 8)

Previous: 6th. Thon Maker. 12. team. 89. Like Vaughn, Thon Maker didn’t receive a ton of minutes this week, just eight total over two games. But, in that time, Maker flashed that smooth jumper from behind the arc, knocking down both of his three-point attempts. For the season, Thon has lived up to the name of Maker, as he has buried 11 of his 18 three-point shots, which is good enough for 61.1 percent. Everybody knew that Maker had a soft stroke entering the draft, but it is hard to imagine that anybody expected him to be this adept from deep so early in his career. <p>Now, as I did with Vaughn, let’s see what the roster shake-ups could do to Maker. As Maker plays completely in the frontcourt, the addition of Khris Middleton into the lineup does not impact Maker’s minutes. The Jabari Parker injury, however, could allow Thon to snag some more minutes and quite possibly even a starting position alongside Giannis. However, although they have not played for the team yet, both Roy Hibbert and Spencer Hawes will likely be joining the rotation soon and could leapfrog Thon on the depth chart.</p>. PF
