Michigan’s Kobe Bufkin and Jett Howard and Eastern Michigan’s Emoni Bates all have been invited to participate in next week’s NBA Draft Combine.
The league announced the official list of invitees for the pre-draft showcase, which will take place May 15-21 in Chicago, and the trio was among the 78 players expected to attend.
Receiving an invitation is a positive sign for Bufkin, Howard and Bates, considering NBA teams and front offices submit a list of prospects they would like to see take part in the combine. Over the course of the event, the three will get the chance to test and compete in front of NBA teams, interview with pro personnel and, most importantly, improve their draft stock.
