The NBA playoffs are starting to heat up and that means that the NBA Draft is right around the corner. We won’t what teams players will land on until June 26-27, but one of the biggest events of the pre-draft process is right around the corner.
The NBA Draft Combine in Chicago will take place on May 12-19. On Friday, the NBA released the names of the 78 prospects who received invites to the list. Rob Dillingham and Reed Sheppard were each unsurprisingly named, but the one-and-done guards were given a special classification.
Per Shams Charania, Rob Dillingham and Reed Sheppard were each named “top 10” players in the draft. Alexandre Sarr (Australia), Matas Buzelis (G League Ignite), Stephon Castle (UConn), Donovan Clingan (UConn), Zaccharie Risacher (France), Nikola Topic (Serbia), Ron Holland II (G League Ignite), and Dalton Knecht (Tennessee) also joined the Kentucky products in the top 10.
