Is 16-Year-Old Thon Maker Basketball’s Next Big Thing?
Posted May 26, 2013
It’s not every day you see freshmen competing at AAU basketball’s highest level. Even more rarely are they 7-foot, 200-pound centers with advanced skill sets. Meet 16-year-old Thon Maker, who just might be basketball’s next big thing. Clearly one of the top players in the class of 2016, Maker has recently begun to hear from Kansas and Kentucky. He already holds offers from the likes of Arizona, Georgetown, LSU, Memphis, Miami, NC State, Ohio State and Virginia.
