A total of 76 invitations were extended to this year’s combine at first, including the likes of potential first overall picks in Chet Holmgren, Paolo Banchero, Jabari Smith Jr. and Jaden Ivey, but seven other invitations have since been given out due to standouts at the G League Elite Camp, which was held earlier in the week.

From strength and agility drills to shooting drills to live five-on-five scrimmages, plenty of draft prospects over the years have made a name for themselves in this event and we should expect nothing less this year!
