The NBA announced its NBA Draft Combine 2026 invitation list on Friday, including the biggest names that will be selected in the June draft. The NBA Draft Combine will take place May 10-17 at Wintrust Arena and the Marriott Marquis in Chicago, beginning with the Draft Lottery on May 10.
Notable names among the 73 invited players include BYU’s AJ Dybantsa, Duke’s Cameron Boozer, Kansas’ Darryn Peterson, Arkansas’ Darius Acuff Jr. and Michigan’s Yaxel Lendeborg. This year, only 71 players declared as early entries for the NBA Draft, the lowest total since 2003, underscoring the impact NIL has had on college basketball in recent years.
