Detroit picks up Thon Maker in a deal with Milwaukee

The NBA trade deadline is Thursday afternoon and the Pistons have pulled off another move.  

ESPN reports they are sending forward Stanley Johnson to the Bucks for big man Thon Maker.

The 7-foot-1 forward is averaging 4.7 points in limited minutes.

Maker has struggled to get consistent minutes in Milwaukee since being selected 10th overall in the 2016 NBA Draft.  

The 22-year-old Johnson is averaging 7.5 points for Detroit and is known for his defensive ability.  

Detroit previously dealt Reggie Bullock to the Lakers.
