The Wizards have agreed to an Exhibit 10 contract with center Makur Maker, according to Josh Robbins and Shams Charania of The Athletic. Robbins cited a tweet from Ed Smith depicting Makur signing the deal.
Makur, 21, is fresh off winning a title with the Sydney Kings of Australia’s NBL. He took part in a group workout with the Wizards on June 3, and very well could be line for a spot with the Capital City Go-Go of the G League, Robbins noted.
Makur is the younger cousin of former lottery pick Thon Maker, and while neither really lived up the hype, Makur is not yet considered a finished product by NBA scouts. So perhaps a run in the minors will serve him well.

Along with Maker, the Wizards reportedly have signed Quenton Jackson and Davion Mintz to Exhibit 10 deals (full post).
