Maker, a 7-foot center with small forward like ball skills, was a five star recruit with offers from schools like Kansas, Kentucky and Indiana. The 19-year-old has quite the unique situation. According to Draft Express, Maker's camp says he graduated from high school in June 2015, and NBA rules state that draft eligible players must be 19-years-old and at least one NBA season has been completed since their high school graduation.
