10. Milwaukee Bucks

Pick: Thon Maker, F/C, Australia  

Earlier on draft day, many teams were scratching Thon Maker completely off their boards because they didn’t know how old he really was. 19, 21 or 23…it doesn’t matter. Now, Maker is officially a top 10 pick in the 2016 NBA Draft.

Maker has all the talent in the world; I don’t think anyone would argue with that. Problem is, he’s extremely raw. And if the Bucks aren’t willing to be patient with this type of prospect, this is going to be a humungous waste of time – and of a top 10 pick.

Maker might need two or three years in order to crack a rotation in the NBA, but he’s as talented as any player in this draft.

This is an interesting pick to follow in the coming years. It’s either going to look really good or really bad. Shame.

Next: Orlando Magic
