The 2023 NBA draft combine officially tipped off on Monday as prospects hit the court for strength and agility testing and anthropometric measurements in Chicago, Illinois.
The league announced last week that 78 players were expected to attend the festivities this year. In addition, eight more players were invited to compete after participating in the NBA G League Elite Camp over the weekend.
Of course, not every draft-eligible player attends the event.
Projected top pick Victor Wembanyama has not yet arrived in the United States from France, where he is still playing with his team. Wake Forest forward Bobi Klintman reportedly withdrew from the event, a potential sign that he has received a first-round promise.
Other players, projected to be high picks, also skip certain testing.
However, the majority of the field took part in the exercises, including wingspan measurements and vertical jumps. Several players helped themselves based on their showing on the first day of action and are firmly on teams’ radars as a result.
Here are some of the top measurements and testing at the combine.
