NEW YORK: Kenyan-born Australian teen Makur Maker, a cousin of NBA player Thon Maker, and Cameroonian forward Paul Eboua, who played in Italy, are entering the 2020 NBA Draft, ESPN reported on Saturday (Sunday in Manila). Maker, 19, is a mobile big man with ballhandling skills who impressed scouts last summer with a Southern California amateur club. Detroit Pistons forward Thon Maker and Matur Maker, who plays on a Houston Rockets developmental team, are his cousins. Eboua, 20, told ESPN he has submitted paperwork to the NBA to ensure his draft eligibility. “This last year in Pesaro was a great experience for me,” Eboua told ESPN.
