This Wednesday we start putting some numbers on the guys likely to be picked up in this year’s draft — how tall are they exactly, what is their wingspan, their vertical leap, their shuttle times.
This Wednesday in Chicago starts the NBA Draft Combine, where 60 guys will get run through their paces — and they will be poked and prodded and tested in front of GMs, coaches and scouts from every team in the league.
Then they will go through the interview process with a number of teams, which is what may really make or break some guys.
The combine isn’t going to change the top of the draft — scouts are plenty familiar with those guys. But if a guy on the draft bubble measures taller than expected, shows more athleticism than expected, or comes off poorly in the interviews it can impact their stock.
Here is an alphabetical list of all 60 guys invited (not all 60 will attend, not all those who attend will go through all the drills). The list also includes one European player (Dennis Schroeder) although several are projected as first round picks (PBT will have reports direct from Adidas EuroCamp next month).
