While the entire NBA Draft occurs in the span of just a few hours, there is a considerable amount of preparation and evaluation that takes places in the weeks and months leading up to it.
At the forefront of this process this week is the NBA Draft Combine, an annual event that gives teams all around the Association a chance to gain initial insight into the prospective players.
The event will unfold in Chicago as those hoping to hear their name called on Draft night will play in scrimmages and go through a series of drills to measure aspects such as speed, agility, and vertical leap.
