Long Island Nets sign former lottery pick Thon Maker, among additions to roster

It’s been a busy few weeks for the Long Island Nets.

With a roster decimated by injuries, health and safety protocols, and NBA call-ups, Brooklyn’s G League team has had to make additions to its lineup all year.

The latest, confirmed Saturday, is former NBA lottery pick Thon Maker.

Maker, a 7-foot center, was originally drafted 10th overall by the Milwaukee Bucks in the 2016 Draft after coming straight out of a Canadian high school.

Maker spent three seasons with the Bucks, averaging 4.5 points and 2.6 rebounds per game in 13.3 minutes per game.
