2016 Outlook: Thon Maker

Thon Maker's stock fluctuated wildly in the days and weeks leading up the draft, but it still came as a pretty surprise that the Bucks invested the No. 10 overall pick in such a rough prospect. They have had success following this model before, and Maker's mix of size and athleticism fits the mold Milwaukee has looked for in the draft in recent years. Still, Maker has a lot to learn and very little experience against high-level competition, so his chances of making an impact as a rookie are slim. Expect him to see limited time this season, and don't look Maker's way in yearly redraft leagues on Draft Day.
