7 foot 1 Thon Maker Drops Five-Star Big Man With Crazy Crossover

[Sauce Dab]

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.

So you're saying it is crazy

Similar player...only he isn't afraid of the post and is a bit bulkier and more explosive. This dude reminds me of KG

bet his post game is :fif:

@Malta

he stupid

I seen this dude play in person and he is an absolute MONSTER.

Not only does he have those crazy handles, he is actually quite strong and quick on his feet. I saw him come off the baseline and do a reverse two-hand like it was NOTHING (in game). His game is extremely advanced for his age and his size and deceptive quickness... brehs there's no one in the NBA currently THAT big that can move and handle the ball like that. Not even AD.

Why dude 7 ft tall and 30 ft away from the basket ​

Not to beat a dead horse but he did shyt the bed on live TV....he was hoorribble dont let the mixtape fool ya

I dont go by mixtapes anymore

Maker is solid has good potential but don't expect him to be a Durant type player.
Id take Harry Giles, Jayson Tatum, Malik Monk, Josh Jackson and DeAron Fox over him without a blink. Than there is Dennis Smith, Lonzo Ball, Jonathan Isaac and Udoka Uzubuike among others, who are at a similar level as Maker as far as prospects

yeah I believe giles is number 1 in 16. Hoping we (duke) lands him, which we prob will

Looked like he stepped on or stumbled over his foot to me

if you're really comparing a superior player like giles to maker, then i think you haven't seen enough game film of giles...

there's a reason that giles is the consensus #1 player in his class and has been for a couple years now, while maker is an inconsistent player that scouts can't really figure out.

sidenote, giles just decided to transfer outta NC and go to Oak Hill Academy to play superior competition for his sr. year, meanwhile a player like maker is more likely to join a make believe prep school and play creampuffs and try to pump up (read: doctor) his transcripts and most likely won't be cleared for D1 ball like josh jackson and skal...maybe that's just me though. i'm sure some of the other cats in the know may know better than me but some of these cats are in this class are gonna have trouble getting clearance.

I doubt he's the one to be a superstar at it, but there will be a legit 7 footer in the next 10 years that is basically a gigantic SG.

Yes we gonna give mommy daddy and the whole family citizenship

This kid is 6'11" in shoes, 15 years old and called the best player in HS regardless of class -

 

[thelonious21]

Footwork on the crossover needs work. He ain't getting that off against NBA defenders.

The nikka is 7'1...he needs to get his ass in the fukking paint!! I'm mad as fukk breh.
