Bucks' Thon Maker: Signs rookie contract

Maker signed a rookie-scale contract with the Bucks on Saturday.

Analysis:

The 10th overall pick was highly impressive while suiting up for the Bucks in the Las Vegas Summer League, finishing with averages of 14.2 points, 9.6 boards and 1.0 blocks to earn All-NBA Summer League Second Team honors. Though Maker spent this past season at a prep school and has less experience against high-level competition than most other rookies, few can match his physical gifts. The 7-foot-1 power forward already has a reliable jump shot to accompany his imposing presence at the rim, and is expected to be a rotation player right away for the Bucks.
