2026 NBA Draft Combine: Full list of 73 prospects — and biggest snubs
Bryan KalbroskyThe league announced the 73 prospects who received invitations to the 2026 NBA Draft Combine in Chicago, which should provide plenty of helpful data.
Scouts and executives learn official measurements and athletic testing as as how players perform during interviews and scrimmages. But additionally, the invitation list alone lends helpful context to how evaluators around the league view this draft class.
Invitations are sent based on votes from each team in the NBA, who select which players they want to get a closer look at before the draft.
Players who did not receive an invite to the 2026 NBA Draft Combine may still earn their way to participation via the NBA G League Draft Combine, which begins two days before.
