The reason why he has those skills is because he's a point guard stuck in a center's body. But unlike most big men who have those type of skills, Thon isn't soft. &nbsp;Maker will make you a poster or throw your shot in the stands. He can back you down too even though he's just as comfortable taking and making 3-pointers. How comfortable? He made 8 straight 3-pointers and finished 2nd in our <a href=\"https:\/\/ballislife.com\/maker-leads-team-elite-to-win-at-2015-ballislife-all-american-game-recap\/\">Ballislife All-American 3-Point contest<\/a> earlier this year.
