By now you know Kaleb Wesson is not returning to Ohio State. The big man that was a presence in the low post the last three seasons in Columbus flirted with going to the NBA after the 2019 season but elected to return. He then entered his name into the NBA draft waters after this past campaign and has turned the page towards a professional career.
And now we know that Wesson has been invited to the NBA combine according to a graphic released by the official Ohio State basketball Twitter profile.
There aren’t too many NBA draft analysts that give Wesson much of a chance at going early in the 2020 NBA Draft, and if he’s going to get his name called, it’ll most likely be later.

Still, being invited is a good sign that there are some executives and scouts that want to get a better look at Wesson who — at the least — worked hard to act on feedback that he needed to transform his body and game just a bit to be more attractive at the next level.
The complete list of potential attendees can be found thanks to Draft Wire, though it is unlikely that all — not even most — of these players get an invite.
It is unclear if or when the 2020 NBA Combine will even take place thanks to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, but if it does Wesson will be a part of all the fun. The 2020 NBA Draft is scheduled to take place on October 16 now, rather than the originally scheduled date of June 25.
So, we’ll just watch and wait.
