Thon Maker possibly declaring w/ link. You're welcome

“We believe that Thon has fulfilled the academic requirements to be eligible for the 2016 draft," Edward Smith, Maker's legal guardian, said to Bleacher Report. "He will apply for the 2016 NBA draft and await approval from the NBA.” “Thon has been the hardest-working and the most astute kid I’ve coached in my 23 years of coaching," Smith continued. "I’m happy to have placed him in the position to have this choice.” Under NBA rules, players are only draft-eligible if they are at least 19 years old and one year removed from high school.

The NBA will ultimately decide if Maker is going to be available for teams to draft in June, but he clearly has enough raw talent and upside to be considered among the top-tier players in this year's class.
