TSU88 1,070 Report post Posted May 4, 2018 The list is out of those players invited to the NBA draft combine, to be held later this month in Chicago. There are 2 Martin’s on the list, but neither are Zane Martin. They are Caleb & Cody Martin of U Nevada. For those interested, all 3 MD players who have declared for the draft were invited: Jackson, Huerter & Fernando. While it is not a prerequisite to getting drafted that a player be invited to the combine, it reduces the chances of being drafted for those not invited. I also didn’t see JFW from Hofstra on the invite list, which I found mildly surprising. The deadline for players who have not hired an agent to withdraw from the draft is 5/30. Given that he was snubbed from the combine, one would logically think ZM would withdraw from the draft & begin looking in earnest for his next school.

mat1992 2,229 Report post Posted May 5, 2018 Yup. No surprise. It's a catch-22 but now guys will say, well, if I want to get to the combine, I have to go to a big-time school. But I believe Benimon was at the combine. You have to prove you deserve it, not just put up 20ppg. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TuTigers2012 1,061 Report post Posted May 5, 2018 Shouldn’t it be earlier? For the players and coaches. Players would be more in game shape and then more opportunity to react and recruit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
