Overview
- Five players were promoted from the G League draft combine to the NBA Draft Combine in Chicago this week: Rafael Castro, Jacob Cofie, Bryce Hopkins, Trey Kaufman-Renn, and Aaron Nkrumah.
- Teams voted for the call-ups, adding the group to a previously announced 73-player combine field for expanded evaluation.
- The combine schedule features 5-on-5 games along with strength, agility, and shooting tests that give teams comparable data on prospects.
- Under the collective bargaining agreement, invitees must take part in required drills and scrimmages or they can be ruled ineligible for the draft.
- Tennessee State guard Aaron Nkrumah arrives as the Ohio Valley Conference Player of the Year after averaging 17.7 points, 5.5 rebounds, 3.0 assists, and 2.8 steals, earning his spot after a late G League combine invite.
