Thon Maker chooses... to try for the NBA draft

Thon Maker, the Sudanese/ Australian player who has gone to school in Canada for the past two seasons, will declare for the NBA Draft, according to a video posted on Bleacher Report.

Or at least, the 7'0" center Maker will try to declare, using an interpretation of the NBA's draft eligibility rules to claim that he can go to the Association.

The reason Maker was even considering schools like St. John's, Arizona State, Indiana, Kansas and Notre Dame was because the hype surrounding him was sullied a bit his junior year... and because there was question about whether he could go straight to the NBA after spending three years in United States high schools and two more years at Orangeville Prep in Canada.
