He also marks the first time since 2005 after their latest ruling on high school players that someone directly from high school would be taken in the draft, albeit as a postgraduate senior . ^ 5: Thon Maker was born in Wau, Sudan at the time, but Wau has now since become a part of South Sudan instead due to war . Even then, though, he would be raised as an Australian representative . ^ 6: Thon Maker would become the first high schooler to be selected from the nation of Canada instead of somewhere in the United States of America (and second overall high school postgraduate student).
