For the Knicks fans sake let's hope he has to go to college.

He graduated high school last year in Canada and he's 19... the nba has got to declare him draft eligible.
I see a KG/Durant hybrid.... how do you guard this kid? 7'1"... he's listed at 218 lbs but he appears to have bulked up bit. The next generation is coming fellas Subscribe to my Podcast https://youtube.com/c/DiehardknicksPodcast

Maker's parents, who descend from the Dinka people, still live in South Sudan[4] and are also both extremely tall; his father is 203 cm (6'8") and his mother 190 cm (6'3").[13] His brother, Matur, is a top recruit for the 2017 class.[14] His cousin, Makur, currently attends West Hills Chaminade Prep School in Los Angeles.[15] Maybe his brother will be available for us. I do wonder if he might be a couple of years older than listed, but this guy sure has a mature looking game. His last official measurement had him at 7'.05" without shoes, which means he is 7'2" on the court.

Born in Brooklyn, Raised in Queens, Lives in Maryland.
The future is bright, I'm a Knicks fan for life!

Did read that they played together in one of the International vs U.S. games, and Maker seemed to have done well in that game. Would have been nice to see Maker play in a good college program against college players, though. EnySpree: Can we agree to agree not to mention Phil Jackson and triangle for the rest of our lives?

If there's some way he becomes a free agent (bc not allowed to enter the draft) then we should be ready to throw $ at this kid. He almost looks like a #1 pick to be honest--I heard of this guy getting recruited and he just entered the draft. On surface after watching his skills and his size(seems to play high energy) it seems almost unreal that 3-4 players would go before him? The guy appears to be a monster. Looks like a young Shaq who can handle the ball. Unless I am seeing something wrong--how would this guy not go high lottery? A few things RIP Crushalot😞

I remember seeing tape on him as a sophomore in high school and thinking he'd eventually be the #1 pick in the draft. I honestly don't think it matters what the competition is we're seeing him go up against. If he's in the draft, with that size, shooting ability, handle, passing, etc, he's the #1 pick, IMO. It's like when you watched the KP workout from Vegas. You saw things that you'd never really seen before from a guy his size. This guy looks like another all nba type talent.
"It was good," Curry said. "I killed Malik, Jerome. The usual suspects. It felt good."

Knicks should be improved: win about 40 games and maybe sneak into the playoffs. Melo, Rose and even Noah will have some nice moments however this team should be about PORZINGUS. the sooner they make him the primary player, the better

How do you determine the relative strength of all forums? Is UK top 5? 10? |

Remember KP almost came out the year earlier and he was projected 14-18-- guy who is that big that athletic who has a motor and skills--how many guys go above him? This is a guards draft so even raw and young I expect this guy to be a lottery pick easy given his competition which is likely Sabonis Poetl Hammonds Brice Johnson. RIP Crushalot😞
