NBA draft green room: Holmgren, Smith headline prospects to earn invitations

Chet Holmgren and Jabari Smith Jr. headline the prospects invited to attend the NBA draft from the green room at the Barclays Center.

With less than two weeks to go until the 2022 NBA draft, the league is beginning to extend invitations to prospects to attend the festivities from the green room at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

Teams each year vote on players they believe will be drafted early, typically the top 20-25 prospects. Last year, 20 players were invited to the green room and each were selected in the first round. However, Josh Primo was not invited and was the 12th pick by the San Antonio Spurs.
