I wouldn't call it "crazy" by any stretch of the imagination.

Main reason defender lost balance and slipped was because he didn't expect a 7 footer to have basic handles like that on the perimeter. Nothing more.

Dude literally did a basic right to left crossover dribble with a jab/hesitation step thrown in. Defender didn't respect his game and bit hard.

Regardless, yeah, it's impressive. 7'1 guys should not have that kind of game.
Thon Maker is a 5 star recruit. He goes to tournaments like that regularly and that more than likely isn't his first rodeo with that defender. Pretty much any D1 bound kid should know who he is and his game by now...he might be 7'1" but he plays like a guard. Your explanation is absolutely not the reason that kid fell.

It displayed some of the things i hate about big men in 2015....I hate 7 footers who are allergic of the post....
He loves to dribble and shoot mid range...Id rather have my guards doing that...

I understand he has ball skills and can utilize some matchups but he definitely is afraid of going inside and that has to change with some added body weight...

I aint buying the hype from what ive seen...
Not that I disagree but how you gon' say some ish like this while repping KD of all people in your avi. :mjlol:

everyone knows about this dude

stop tryna act like u discovered him fakkit @Asantehene
how about you read a thread before you reply you dumbass
Everybody knows Thon Makers game at this point. I highly doubt a 5 star big man from the same class didnt know he had that in him. Stop acting like the jab-hesi-stepback wasnt agile as fukk


on top of that...he hit the jumper :damn:
