Don't know much about him, and the only guy that he can really be compared to is Thon due to their relationship and similar body.
Makur is already stronger than Thon and is listed at about 20 pounds heavier than Thon was going into the draft.
What do you guys think his impact on this draft will be if he decides to enter? He is currently the number 12 prospect in the class of 2020 and has a very intriguing skillset. Can he sneak into the top 10 due to the weakness of this draft?
I've stated as much before but Makur is making a great decision declaring in this class. The class he was in would have left him very exposed I think. Makur looks great on paper and if you have a staff develop him he could be really good. My main issue with the kid is his motor is absolutely nowhere near Thon's from what i've seen. Thon was developed wrong and tried being KD when he should have tried being AD but the kid plays extremely hard when he gets minutes. Makur seems to not care like at all when i've watched him. He doesn't use his size for anything outside of a highlight and he looks to love the idea of being a 7ft point guard. I think if you have absolutely nothing to lose you draft him and see if you can iron out those wrinkles because there's a lot to work with if you can but if he can't hit that activity switch i can't see him consistently lasting very long on an NBA roster. He's def a G-League project in waiting I think.
