Sources: Howard star freshman Makur Maker entering NBA draft
Howard University big man Makur Maker, the first five-star recruit to chose to play at an Historically Black College and University, is declaring for the 2021 NBA draft, sources told ESPN.
Makur, 20, won't sign with an agent to keep open the option of returning to Howard for his sophomore year, sources said.
Makur has shown himself to a be highly-skilled 6-foot-11 forward with the ability to play out on the perimeter. Makur only played two games for the Bison last season, because of a groin injury. In those two games, Makur averaged 11.5 points, 6.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists.
The university shut down the remainder of the team's season because of COVID-19 issues in early January.
