Intro
The South-Sudanese Thon Maker enters the 2016 NBA draft surrounded by an aura of mystery. By far the biggest wildcard Maker one of the greatest prospects in high-school at one point was even a 5-star talent by recruiters. Courted by great college systems like Kansas and Kentucky Maker decided to skip college to go directly to the NBA, thus becoming one of a couple players to do such in the last 10-to-15 years.
Questions remain about his build, talent and even his real age. But none could say Thon Maker doesn’t show resolve and confidence by trusting himself to become a NBA player right now.
