NBA invites 73 prospects to draft combine in Chicago

The NBA dropped the list. It is a long one.

A total of 73 prospects have been invited to the 2026 draft combine in Chicago, set for May 10-17. More names could be added from the G League combine, which means this group may not be final.

Not everyone here will stay in the draft. Plenty are testing the waters. The combine will help decide who stays in and who heads back to school.

Here is the full list:
