#1. Kenyan Makur Maker, a 7'0'' center/forward who graduated from Howard University in 2021 and now plays professionally in Australia, recently played for the Illawarra Hawks. In their last game against the Phoenix, one of the league's weakest teams, Maker's efforts were not enough to lift the struggling Illawarra Hawks to victory. Despite his strong performance, scoring 14 points and grabbing 4 rebounds in just 22 minutes, the bottom-ranked Illawarra Hawks suffered a significant 113-96 defeat on the road. Although the Illawarra Hawks are currently struggling with a 1-5 record, it is still early in the season and there is potential for improvement. Maker showcased his skills in a previous game against SE Melbourne, where he also scored 14 points and grabbed 4 rebounds, demonstrating his capabilities on the court. So far this season, Maker is averaging 8.5 points per game and 4.0 rebounds per game in the two games he has played. It is worth noting that Maker holds a South Sudanese passport, adding to his diverse background and experiences in the world of basketball. Despite the setbacks faced by the Illawarra Hawks, Maker's talent and contributions on the court show promise for the team's future performances.
