Hopefully Thin Maker lands on Renardo's team, would do wonders for him.

With a name like Thon Macher, he must be German.

If so then I can see why he is eligible. Not sure how Canada HS's work.

Yep.

From that SBNation piece:

Maker's case is unique, so the NBA allowing him to enter the draft doesn't change the rule that, in order to be eligible, a player has to be at least 19 years old and one year removed from high school. Maker was born in February of 1997 and, according to his guardian, graduated high school in June of 2015 despite staying at Athlete Institute in Ontario, Canada for a fifth year of high school. It was a complex situation that opened itself to interpretation.

Wait? People born in 1997 are turning 19 now?


Holy ****.


I'm so old.
