Thon Maker

" 5pts 3rbds in 17min on 41% FG.. yuck "

Well, delly's stat is even yuckier this season ~ 4.3pts 3.8ass in 19 min on 36%FG …………

Maybe delly should not be in the boomers squad as well, you hypocrite.

5 pts 3rbds in 17 minutes is roughly what baynes, mills, exum, ingles, delly get on a nightly basis in the nba and I did not see you complain about these guys. The double standard is unbelievable.

If you think Humphries is better than Maker you should be BANNED from attending basketball games

"Those who said Thon should not be in the boomers squad are either racists or white supremacists"

Using your logic then all who he said he should be in the Boomers are black supremacists.

" Four good games in 2 years.. what a scrub I prefer humphries over him!!"

what a moron.
How many good games did
Baynes, mills, delly, Exum have in the past 2
years?

Those who said Thon should not be in the boomers squad are either racists or white supremacists

He is playing in the NBA....he does not need to prove himself and he should be an automatic inclusion into the Boomers.

Thon maker was the biggest factor why the bucks came from 0:2 and now levelled the series against the celtics.

Those who said Thon does not deserve a spot in the boomers are idiots who don't know anything about basketball.

Why there are so many Thon Haters I just dont understand. Some of these comments were just ridiculous
~ He is going to be a bust
~ He is going to be undrated
~ He is not good enough for boomers.

He had only a few good games this year for the bucks? Is it the same for Delly, Baynes and mills? I did not see you guys complain about them.

He is more than good enough and should play for the boomers.

Thon’s ability to switch and guard multiple positions, weak side help defense as shot blocker, length as a rim protector, speed. as a rim runner, and 3 pointer from the corners will earn him an opportunity to trial. His grit will get him a spot. You put a Thon Maker with a Delly or Mills, Simmons, Ingles, and Baynes, you will get toughness, iq, speed, power....
Playoff basketball is where you earn your stripes and Thon has been really great in effecting winning which is the key to success.

Don't forget that Baynes didn't put up much in the way of stats even in years he played well for the Boomers. His best points average was 6.6 ppg, rebounds was 4.7 rpg.

At least give Thon the chance.

" I'm confident he will make the Boomers team ahead of DJ.
Still has to get past Hodgson first though. "

what a dumbass comment.
I guess Hodgson, Newley, Creek would make the boomers team ahead of simmons if you are the seletor. LOL

Regardless of what anons are saying, the be all and end all is that Thon should be in the training squad for Wold Cup/Olympics and if Andrej doesn't think he can use him in his squad then he doesn't take him but Thon should be seen.

We should all be delighted with how Thon is playing and hopefully he improves as he is a far more talented player than Henson (is it) and should be starting.

Agree that Maker needs to crash the boards more and great to see him hitting some 3s in game 3

Exactly Todd.

What is the minimum requirement for some anon's fantastic Boomers team? Is playing in the rotation for most of the year on an NBA team enough? Is becoming a big part of an NBA playoff team's series chances enough?

Last 2 playoff games for Thon.

24 mins 14pts 5reb 1stl 5blks
30 mins 8pts 2reb 1ast 5blks

I suppose these NBA teams are willing to pay millions to a player hoping they get lucky.

On a lighter note great to see Baynes and Maker going at it today. Hopefully they are still talking and can play on the same team (Boomers) when required.

I really don't get people.

The NBA is the best basketball in the league. People rather players from the NBL or Europe.

Maker is playing for a playoff team in the best league in the world.

It's a no brainer to have Maker in the Boomers.

One good game a season doesn’t deserve a boomers spot, everyone gets lucky.

I'm confident he will make the Boomers team ahead of DJ.
Still has to get past Hodgson first though.

Thon should be drafted in the boomers squad As soon as possible
