I have thought about going and asking about him, but it might seem a bit creepy a 34 year old guy walking into a highschool and starting asking weird questions about a schoolkid from Sudan. :-?


L:Like I said: usually yearbooks are public (in their library) and they tend to have folders with newspaper clippings about their school from both national and local newspapers. I think those should be easily accessible.


I'm not convinced school libraries are "available" to the public like say University libraries are

Does it really matter? This is all great publicity for Thon.

Dude, he's 19 according to his passport. People still don't seem to understand this, you don't go by biological age when you try to determine if anyone has commited a crime, you go by the age on your papers.

Dude, it's looking pretty clear his age is fraudulent. There are lots of cases where a person's age is found to be fraudulent on his passport and their are major ramifications. (Jonathan Nicola). Courts absolutely go by bilogical date if their is suspicion around documents.

Just because I show up in court with a passport saying something doesn't mean it's true. Imagine how many people could get away with a crime if they just managed to falsify a passport. 'He can't have worked in a Nazi deathcamp, his passport says he's from Peru'

I really talking about if (when) he gets formerly investigated. If it gets established he lied we could see all kinds of issues crop up.

So what do you make of the majority of NBA scouts/front offices determining that his true age was 21-23 right before the draft? It was in the media, not exactly a small story.

[tweet]https://twitter.com/DraftExpress/status/746016789847478272[/tweet]

The most respected draft site online :dontknow:.

So they have definitive proof of his age? Because from reading that tweet it sounds to me like they are just going by the eye ball test.

At least the people on reddit used photographic evidence. Photoshopped you think? Excellent job if that's the case, but then you have to ask the question why would there be several people doing this? What do they stand to gain? In 3 months time nobody is going to remember who originally posted these pics, so it's not for the fame. Or do they all have a twisted vendetta against him so they thought they'd shame him on the internet right at this moment?

I have no clue. That said, if you're on reddit there have been weirder fake things all the time. Its a cesspool of random people saying whatever they'd like. Its great for breaking news, but if you want attention for no good reason its pretty easy.

I just hate that this kid may very well have scammed the NBA out of money, and may potentially serve as an example to others that you can get rewarded for lying. Screw you, Bucks, for overdrafting him.

"I first saw Thon Maker in 2012 in LA. His physical progression from then to now has been very similar to what you'd expect from players enrolling in a college."

Or it could be that in this case that they are telling the truth and the video and photos are as real as they look.
