Marquette junior Olivier-Maxence Prosper emerged as one of the standouts Wednesday on the first day of 5-on-5 scrimmages at the 2023 NBA draft combine 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 those prospects invited, many of them opted against playing in the scrimmages. It is often commonplace that the top prospects skip certain portions of the testing and competition and that was once again the case this year as only 44 players were a part of the scrimmages.
However, several prospects made a name for themselves.
With the first day of the scrimmages in the books, Rookie Wire took a look at those players that had some notable performances on the court and helped raise their draft stock.
