Overview
- The league named 73 invitees on Friday, setting the field for the May 10–17 combine at Wintrust Arena and the Marriott Marquis in Chicago.
- BYU’s AJ Dybantsa, Kansas’ Darryn Peterson and Duke’s Cameron Boozer headline the class, with recent mock drafts giving Dybantsa a slight edge for the No. 1 pick.
- Scouts are watching Peterson’s health after missed time with a hamstring strain, cramping, a rolled ankle and flu-like symptoms during the season.
- The combine opens with the Draft Lottery on May 10 and features measurements, drills, interviews and 5-on-5 play that can shift rankings.
- New CBA rules require invited players to attend and route medical data to teams by projected draft tier, while G League Combine standouts may be added and feedback in Chicago will guide stay-or-go decisions by May 27 for NCAA players and June 13 for others.
