Makur Maker officially declares for the 2020 NBA Draft

In news that should come as a shock to no one, 2020 five-star center Makur Maker is officially declaring for the NBA Draft.

Maker, a 6-foot-11, 235-pound prospect, will bypass the college ranks and go straight to the NBA, per ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.

“Makur Maker — a 6-foot-11 Kenyan-born Australian living in the United States — is entering the 2020 NBA draft, sources told ESPN on Saturday,” Wojnarowski said.

Maker was declared eligible for the NBA Draft after the league determined he was just two credits short of graduating with his original 2019 high school class in California.
