Thon Maker Player Preview: Can the unicorn inside of him come out to play?

I promise the only Maker puns I deliberately make(r) will be in the headlines of this preview. I’m not trying to make(r) any enemies here, ma(r)k(er) my words...

Thon Maker enters this season at something of a crossroads in his fledgling NBA career. On one hand, he’s a theoretical basketball unicorn, a 7-foot-1 pterodactyl who possesses the ability to hit threes and block shots. However, his career has often been marred by inefficiency and a set of hands that would make even Lobster Claws himself blush. Put simply, this year is an absolute make(r) or break year for Thon (SORRY).
