Yea nikkas be taking KD's cookies on the reg cause of his height
Kd is 6'9

I mean this kid may be the first 7ft guard
But I think it's unlikely
A large part of your handle/ball control comes down to being able to get low on your dribble+quick changes in direction etc.

He has handles for a 7fter
But if this kid is bringing the ball up the court and being a primary ball handler on the upper levels(college-nba) I'd be surprised:yeshrug:*

Durant hasn't been 6'9 in a few years. Same way Kevin Garnet never wanted to be listed about 6'11.

Ibaka is 6'10-6'11

He's gonna be 7'5 :blessed:



Also, this thread is late as fukk. Thon Maker has been a future problem for years.

I'm going with the listed height
Photos are not a accurate measurement of height

And kd has said himself that he's 6'7:mjlol:

The point being is that all we know is these nikkas is tall
Exactly how tall:yeshrug:?¿?¿?¿
Until you go and take these nikkas height measurement yourself you won't now for sure

But all I'm saying is the tallest players have never been the primary or best ball handlers
When it comes to ball handling ball control I see height as a limiting factor

dribbling isn't a skill like say rebounding where intuition plays some part in it. Anyone can work on and improve their handle Thon will do just fine

Possibly

My point is this
He's tall as fukk
The ball has to travel a longer way from his hand and back
He would have to lower his dribble and even then it would still be higher than average

That plus the inhumane amount of lateral quickness and overall agility it takes to beat top tier defenders off the dribble :yeshrug:*

Form equals function
Guards are guards because they move like cheetahs in and out the lanes and around defenders
Bigs are bigs they charge like fukking rhinos or some shyt in the paint throwing their weight around

Yeah it's not an absolute
You do get anomalies
But I just don't think this big motherfukker is gonna be rewriting any history books:yeshrug:*

Saw him play in a game on ESPN. He really should quit trying to mimic KD's game.

Watched a few games of his and came away much more impressed with his teammate Dennis Smith than I was with Thon. All that driving shyt looks cool on a highlight tape, but how is it gonna translate against players on his level?
