Thon Maker might be ready for the NBA. He might not be ready for the NBA. Either way, he probably won’t get much chance to prove either of those sentences right early on with the Milwaukee Bucks.
Although positions are becoming more and more outdated, it’s obvious Thon fits in as either a power forward or a center in the NBA. There just aren’t many minutes to go around at those positions right now with the Bucks.
The lack of playing time at center almost goes without saying at the moment. The Bucks plan on starting Miles Plumlee, meaning he’ll probably get at least 20 minutes per game.
