PJ Washington, Tyler Herro, and Keldon Johnson are all in Chicago for the NBA Draft Combine, but none will participate in the five-on-five scrimmages. According to Sports Illustrated’s Jeremy Woo, Keldon, PJ, and Tyler have all elected to sit out the five-on-five, a growing trend among the top draft prospects.
General sentiment I'm already hearing around the league is that many of these guys are making a big mistake by not playing. Almost an absurd amount of withdrawals. Guys trying to protect their stock may end up hurting it. https://t.co/fKNow0yVxE

If you remember, PJ Washington scrimmaged last year at the Combine and actually improved his stock before deciding to return to school.
