Thon Maker being ruled draft-eligible highlights potential loophole
Posted Apr 15, 2016
Thon Maker just revealed a loophole that NBA and NCAA officials probably would have preferred remained closed. The skilled 7-footer found a way to bypass the one-and-done rule and go straight from prep school to the NBA. Under the current NBA collective bargaining agreement, draft-eligible prospects not defined as international players must be at least 19 years old during the calendar year of the draft and at least one year removed from graduating high school.
