Makur Maker eligible for NBA draft
Because Maker, 19, was two credits short of receiving a high school diploma from Orange (California) Lutheran High School, where he was enrolled during the 2018-19 season, he needed to petition the NBA for inclusion in the draft by submitting high school transcripts to the league office.
Maker started the current school year at a prep school in Orange County, but he moved to Hillcrest Prep in Phoenix in December. He will no longer compete for Hillcrest, now that he is allowed to enter the draft if he so chooses.
According to the new CBA language, the draft eligibility for U.S.-based players who have not graduated high school will be determined by the graduation year of the class in which they first enrolled or last enrolled -- whichever comes later.
