Going into the 2016 NBA Draft, there was plenty of speculation about the age of Sudanese Australian big man Thon Maker.
Some NBA teams believed, according to some, that Maker's true age was between 21-23 and not the 19 he claimed to be.
Several teams have entirely ruled Thon Maker out of the first round due to his age. Multiple sources believe Maker to be 21-23, not 19.— Jake Fischer (@JakeLFischer) June 23, 2016
Well, the Milwaukee Bucks didn't seem to be among the teams concerned with Thon's age and took him with the tenth pick in the draft.
Maker did a Twitter Q&A on Thursday and set the record straight once and for all (because if someone says something on Twitter, it is undeniable fact)
