G League Elite Camp Invites Multiple Prospects Ahead of 2025 NBA Draft

Several notable college basketball players, including Gonzaga's Ryan Nembhard, Florida's Will Richard, and Kentucky's Amari Williams, have received invitations to the 2025 NBA G League Elite Camp, a key showcase for prospects who did not make the NBA Draft Combine. Standout performances at the Elite Camp, held May 9-11 in Chicago, can earn select players a late invite to the main NBA Draft Combine, offering them another path to impress scouts and boost their draft prospects. Nembhard, known for his elite passing and shooting, was the only Gonzaga player invited, while Richard boasts a strong statistical legacy at Florida, and Williams is noted for his size, passing, and defensive presence. Each player will look to leverage the opportunity, as prior examples show it is possible to be drafted after attending only the Elite Camp. The event underscores the growing importance of alternate paths for draft hopefuls outside the main combine invites. Other Kentucky graduates and transfers have yet to receive invitations to either event.
