Milwaukee Bucks: Player Power Rankings (April 6-April 12)
89. Since seeing his role expand over the past couple of weeks, Thon Maker has only taken it in stride and stepped up his game even more. It would have been nice to see him knock down a three (0-3), but he was a very solid 7-13 (53.8 percent) inside the arc and showed his effort on the offensive glass where he led the team with eight over the course of four games. Thon can be called upon to play substantial minutes in the playoffs, and to me, that is an incredible success based on how raw he seemed coming out of the draft. <p>Thon will have his hands full with Jonas Valanciunas in the first round of the playoffs, but if he can force Jonas out to the three-point line when the Bucks are on offense, then he can create lots of possibility for other players (especially Giannis) on the inside.</p><div class=.
