Makur Maker, cousin of the Detroit Pistons’ Thon Maker, is making moves to join his family in the league as soon as possible.
ESPN’s Jonathan Givony says that Maker has submitted paperwork to explore his eligibility in the 2020 NBA Draft.
One of the most unique players in the 2020 recruiting class, Maker is working with the NBA Player’s Association to become eligible for next June’s draft.
“The NBA Player’s Association is helping Makur get eligible. We’ve submitted all the transcripts and are waiting to hear back from the league office. The NBPA thinks he will receive it and, more than likely, will be in this draft class,” a source told Givony.
