Draft Combine

NBA Announces format for Draft Combine!

NBA Announces format for Draft Combine! The NBA has announced that they are taking a new approach to the Draft Combine. They will be having it virtually and in team markets, as these phases begin on September 28th.

“NBA Draft Combine is an essential part of the pre-draft evaluation process,” said Byron Spruell, President, NBA League Operations. “While the circumstances surrounding this Combine are unique, we’re excited to creatively deliver a valuable experience for our teams, who have remained flexible through the process, and for prospective draftees who are just beginning their NBA journeys.”

Now, even though it is virtual, players will still have the chance to have league and team interviews. All these interviews will be conducted through videoconference, which will run through Sept. 28th – Oct. 16th.

Players will still be doing shooting drills, agility and strength drills, anthropometric measurements, and a “Pro Day” video. Also, the NBA will go through an app called “HomeCourt.” HomeCourt is an app that allows recording the shooting of the player they are viewing. This video is used to showcase the player’s skills, and this can be up to 45 minutes long.

The NBA Draft advertising is by State Farm and is being held on November 18th, which is a Wednesday. Now, things have been changing as dates have been changing. But as we know now, everything is set for the 18th. Also, everyone can watch the NBA Draft by watching it on ESPN.
