Rose has freakish speed. This kid is a tad better than Rose at that point but Rose was so freakin' fast. The best 9th grader ain't even Seventh and probably will never be in his class. It's Thon Maker. That boy is a freak at 7ft.

Thon Maker 7 Foot Forward/Center...Best FRESHMEN on the Planet! C/O 2016...smh - YouTube

Thon Maker Impresses Dwight Howard at 2012 Adidas Nations - 7 Foot 8th Grader - YouTube

Thon Maker went to an old high school I used to attend.

That place was small as fukk. They been trying to recruit a star athlete forever. :heh:

*thinks of erasing statement, don't want to make my real life public :ohmy:*

My first thought was that it could be a Schea Cotton or Felipe Lopez situation where they are selling wolf tickets about his age..

But if homie in here is his fam he would know better than me...

He's a phenomenal athlete... I wanna see what that jumper look like though

:mjpls:

I was wondering why this kid wasn't rated number 1 in his class, and what the fukk are you all putting in the water in the Carolinas?

Young KG clone.

There must be some spring that MJ, Harry Giles, and Seventh Woods drank from out of there. NC is my 2nd home state. I need to find that spring when I have a son :wow:

This video makes him even better, he actually plays like a PG. Someone mentioned Rodney Purvis earlier, and Purvis was similar, not as explosive but has zero PG instincts.

it was me...purvis was every bit as explosive as this kid, albeit i dunno if he looked like this at 14...i agree on the PG instincts, i was just referring strictly to the aggresive, explosive type of play at that size.

Stephon Marbury 2.0 (at Lincoln). He’s still the best HS PG I’ve ever seen, amazing athletically and unreal bball IQ. If this kid has his head on straight, he may be looking at a future first team All NBA-er.

He’s 14 and is more explosive then the first guard going in the draft this year (Trey Burke)

That’s insane.
