NBA Combine Invites: Zero Kansas Players, Notable Omissions

Several notable college basketball players, including Kansas seniors Hunter Dickinson, Zeke Mayo, Dajuan Harris, and Shakeel Moore, along with Arizona's Caleb Love and Jaden Bradley, did not receive invitations to the 2025 NBA Combine. These players may still have a chance to impress scouts at the NBA G League Elite Camp, where top performers can earn late combine invites. Carter Bryant was the only Arizona player to receive a combine invitation, and he is now projected as a likely first-round NBA draft pick. Drake Powell from UNC did secure a combine invite, giving him an opportunity to boost his draft stock. The omission of these experienced college stars from the combine highlights the competitive nature of the draft process and may influence some players' decisions to return to college for another season.
