With the NBA playoffs in full swing, draft festivities are to shortly follow. The NBA draft lottery is set for Monday, May 12, where we'll find out the order for the lottery-decided first 14 picks and the winner of the Cooper Flagg sweepstakes.
Flagg headlines the 2025 draft class, but there are plenty of highly touted prospects, both domestic and international players, who will make an impact on an NBA roster next season. Although draft workouts are already underway, the NBA draft combine is the first public opportunity to get eyes on 2025 prospects during their pre-draft process.
The league invited 75 prospects to compete in this year's draft combine, which takes place in Chicago. Five of Flagg's Duke teammates—Khaman Maluach, Kon Knueppel, Sion James, Isaiah Evans and Tyrese Proctor—received the call. Plenty of March Madness heroes will compete at the combine, too, like Florida's Walter Clayton Jr., Maryland's Derik Queen and Auburn's Johni Broome.
The combine also gives fans an opportunity to get to know some highly regarded international prospects. Some have already played NBA preseason games with their international clubs, like Noa Essengue (France) and Ben Saraf (Israel) who both played for Ratiopharm Ulm in Germany over their pre-draft season.
Ahead of the combine, here's each prospect who received an invite to showcase their skills in front of NBA decision makers in Chicago.
2025 NBA Draft Combine Prospects
The NBA announced 75 prospects who will compete at the draft combine which will take place from May 11-18 at Wintrust Arena and the Marriott Marquis in Chicago.
The 75 initial names will not be the full field at the combine, though. The NBA G League Elite Camp takes place leading up to the draft combine. The G League Elite Camp gives draft-eligible prospects a showcase opportunity in front of league scouts, both from the NBA and the G League. A select few standouts from the event receive an invite to the NBA draft combine to further improve their stock amongst NBA teams and make a case to get drafted in June.
