On Tuesday, The NBA announced that 69 players are expected to attend the 2021 NBA Draft Combine, and West Virginia guard Miles "Deuce" McBride is among the field. The combine will be held June 21-27 at Wintrust Arena and the Marriott Marquis in Chicago.

As a sophomore, McBride earned Second Team All-Big 12 after leading the Mountaineers last year in scoring, averaging 15.9 points per game while also averaging a team-best 4.8 assists along with a team-leading 1.9 steals per game. He recorded a career-high 31 points last season, hitting 4-5 from behind the arc in the win over Kansas.

In his first season in Morgantown, he earned a spot on the All-Big 12 Freshman Team. He averaged 9.5 ppg on the year but had an eight-game span in the middle of the season, where he averaged 14.1 ppg. In the latter part of the season, McBride hit a wall, producing one double-digit performance over the next eight games. However, he averaged 14 ppg in the final three games of the season. 

McBride is the only Mountaineer to receive an invite.
