Maryland Terps guard Aaron Wiggins on Monday reportedly received an invitation to compete in the NBA draft combine, according to Jonathan Givony of ESPN.

Wiggins was among 40 prospects to attend the G League Elite Camp over the weekend in Chicago, Illinois. He averaged 13 points, two rebounds and 1.5 assists on 59% shooting from the field, including 50% from 3-point range, in two scrimmage games.

He recorded a 41-inch vertical jump, which ranked fifth among all players.

The 6-foot-6 guard was one of the standouts from the event, and emerged as perhaps the top scorer. He attacked the paint during his time on the court and looked to be one of the more versatile defenders with his athleticism and length.

Wiggins earned All-Big Ten Honorable Mention honors after averaging 14.5 points, 5.8 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.1 steals in 31 games last season. He finished off the season on a high note, posting 17.9 points and 6.6 rebounds over his last 12 games.

He is currently not projected to be selected by most mock drafts, but another strong outing in the combine would certainly help improve his stock. He declared for the draft in April but left open the possibility of returning to school.

This year marks the second time the G League Elite Camp was held in its revamped format after first launching in 2019. Overall, 11 players were invited to the combine from the G League Elite Camp in 2019 and five were eventually drafted.
