Milwaukee Bucks: New Year’s resolution for every player
By Ben Rauman
Thon Maker
Thon Maker has struggled lately from an offensive standpoint, failing to record a field goal in his last two appearances. On the season, he is shooting a meager 33.8 percent from deep on a career-high 9.7 attempts per 100 possessions.
Despite these struggles, he still spaces the floor and is sporting a team-best 95.9 defensive rating for players with regular minutes. He also ranks second on the team in blocks per 100 possessions with 2.3.
Injuries have forced Maker to play most of the backup center minutes this season, but the emergence of D.J. Wilson has cut into Maker’s minutes recently.
While Maker is still very rough around the edges in a lot of areas, one in particular stands out.
Resolution: Buy some Stickum for his hands, man!
