The Detroit Pistons’ decision to cut the cord on Stanley Johnson centered mostly around money, and allowing more of it to flow, but let’s not pretend is was all about the Benjamins. In return for Johnson, the Pistons acquired the services of Thon Maker, the 10th pick of the 2016 NBA Draft. Maker is listed at seven-foot-one, around 220 pounds, and on the books at a low price thru the 2019-20 season.
So, what does Detroit have in Thon Maker?
It’s going to take some extended time to completely answer that question, but, as a blogger and fan, I have no interest in “extended time,” I want to know now!
