2016 NBA lottery pick Thon Maker has dealt with tons of speculation about his age. The 7’1” Sudanese – Australian Milwaukee Bucks rookie was selected number 10 overall and questions about his age have been swirling since video of him dominating competition found its way on the interwebs.
However, proof in the form of an official government passport (albeit expired) has surfaced. Sky Smith — one of Thon’s coaches at the Athlete Institute prep school in Ontario, Canada — posted the photo of the passport and it says Maker is indeed 19. Conspiracy theorists will say forging a passport, while illegal, is not impossible and it is expired. But judge for yourself.
