In full madness unleashed by Mohamed Dabone, a 12-year-old insider who is surprising in Barcelona’s youth ranksanother name bursts strongly into Spanish basketball. Abraham Juom Maker Was He is one of the great hopes of the Baskonia youth team and is already a Spanish player after receiving nationality by nature letter. He comes from Sudan, was trained in Spain and has impressive qualities since he was 15 years old – 16 in November – and about 2.10 meters tall.
Maker was.
Maker Bol is a family story. His older brother Paul (2007) shone in the youth ranks of BAXI Manresa until he ended up going to youth basketball in the United States (the Brewster academy). The little one is William Deng (2010) and he is one of Barcelona’s great promises along with the media-savvy Dabone and the talented Jan Cerdán.
The nationalization of the boy Baskonia is understood to be in line with other decisions by the Spanish Basketball Federation for which it follows promises made in Spain who are interested in taking that step. For example, what happens with Eli Ndiaye, Real Madrid youth player. He also received nationality before he was 16 years old and as he has developed, he is entering the national team although he cannot yet make his debut.
The same will happen with Maker Bol. The FIBA naturalization rule was tightened and does not allow a player to be part of his new team until he is 23 years of age despite receiving the naturalization letter. Of course, Maker Bol could play for Spain, at the time, alongside another player, as is currently the case with Lorenzo Brown, a Spanish national.
Maker Bol, in action.
Time will tell the limit of the Baskonia boy. At the moment he has become one of the great pearls of national youth basketball after shining in the Spanish Championship where he was MVP and top rebounder after averaging more than 19 catches!
