More than 280 college and international basketball players put their names into the 2022 NBA Draft even though only 58 selections will be made in June. Many of those early entrants will opt to withdraw from the draft and return to (or enroll in) college, but not until after they get an idea of where they stand with pro scouts.
A good indicator of ones draft stock is getting invited to the NBA Draft Combine, which was the case for all three Arizona players currently in the draft.
Wings Bennedict Mathurin and Dalen Terry and center Christian Koloko are among the 76 players who accepted invites to the combine, which is scheduled for May 18-20 in Chicago.
