Thon Maker will skip college and attempt to enter the 2016 NBA Draft, the 19-year-old prospect announced Sunday via Bleacher Report.

Maker is still in high school, but is technically in his fifth year, giving him a strong chance to be considered eligible for the draft, Jonathan Givony of DraftExpress reports.

After spending three years attending American high schools, Maker has been in Canada at Orangeville Prep for the past two years. He meets the NBA requirement of being at least 19 years old, but whether he will be considered a year out of high school will be up for debate. The NBA will have to approve for Maker to be eligible for the draft, but, according to ESPN's Jeff Borzello, Maker had to make his declaration before the NBA would rule.

Listed at 7-feet with a 9-foot-3 standing reach, Maker is considered one of the top prospects in high school. He was originally expected to announced where he would be attending college later this month. Arizona State, Kansas, and Notre Dame were all under consideration.

Born in Sudan, Maker moved to Australia when he was 5, then to the United States in eighth grade before finally arriving in Canada two years ago.
