Houston junior Marcus Sasser is among the draft-eligible prospects selected to advance from the NBA G League Elite Camp to the draft combine, the league announced.
Sasser, who played just 12 games after undergoing season-ending foot surgery in December, emerged as one of the standouts from the two-day event in Chicago, Illinois. He averaged 17 points, 5.5 rebounds and five assists on 52.6% shooting from the field.
Along with Sasser, LSU forward Darius Days, Louisiana Tech center Kenneth Lofton Jr., UConn guard Tyrese Martin, Seton Hall guard Jared Rhoden, Texas Tech forward Bryson Williams and Kansas guard Jalen Wilson were also invited to the combine.
The full list was first reported by Jeremy Woo of Sports Illustrated.

The combine will begin on Wednesday and feature 5-on-5 games, strength and agility testing, shooting drills, measurements and other related on-court exercises. With the addition of the seven players invited from the elite camp, the combine will have 83 prospects competing this year.
Those underclassmen that filed as early-entry candidates will also have the chance to interview with teams and gain feedback on their draft positioning. The information will be helpful in forming their decisions on staying in the draft or returning to school before the June 1 deadline.
The NBA draft will take place on June 23.
