Easy tiger, he's averaging 9 minutes and less than 4ppg for a 25 year old that was lottery pick.
anon, this is still 16 pts per 36 minutes on the court. Near borderline all-star stat and this is his rookie season.
His old passport showed that he was 19 when he was drafted. Get over your hatred.

There is no evidence to actually suggest Thon is any older than he says he is. If you actually look at his face and his build, it is very likely he is only 20. People are hating because they're fucking idiots and their dreams died long ago, so they see all the more reason to hate on someone living his.

Thon is quite clearly still a kid, by the looks of him he's still not shaving either. Got to be a complete dunce to think otherwise.
Can see a lot more potential in him, great to see KG has been working with him.
I suppose Zaza was supposed to be an all star, why not someone averaging 4ppg. If he was so good why isn't he averaging 36 minutes a game? And the league is in trouble if you're an all star averaging 16ppg and you're not a fantastic all around player. And why wasn't he monstering high school kids in Canada last year.
Not saying he won't be good down the track, but to proclaim he's having a fantastic year is way off. More interested in a couple of years to see where he is.
And sorry for the joke about his age, he is a kid, but nowhere near as young as he's been advertised.
Had a great game for a rookie, but let's not carried away with a game late in the season.
But agree he should be in training camp with boomers, just see if he gets selected.
