With the NBA pre-draft process in full swing, reports are beginning to surface of those prospects that have received invitations to compete in the combine.
The combine will run May 16-22 in Chicago, Illinois, and include executives and scouts from all 30 teams. Teams each year submit a list of the players they would like to see invited, typically those with the highest odds of getting drafted.
Sixty-nine players were invited to compete in the combine last year.
The event will feature 5-on-5 games, strength and agility testing, shooting drills, measurements and other related on-court exercises. Prospects will have the opportunity to improve their draft stock in a competitive environment against their peers.

The NBA G League Elite Camp will also take place in Chicago on May 16-17 with players competing in front of NBA and G League scouts, coaches and front-office executives. The top performers will also be invited to perform in the draft combine.
The official list of participants for both events has yet to be unveiled.
Those underclassmen that filed as early-entry candidates will also have the chance to interview with teams and gain feedback on their draft positioning. The information will be helpful in forming their decisions on staying in the draft or returning to school before the June 1 deadline.
