"I'm very happy that he is getting an opportunity to continue doing something that he loves – playing the game of basketball," Head Coach Mike Riley said. "It's great that since he has his degree, he has options."
This innovative, two-day event will feature some of the nation's top free agents as they compete in front of NBA, WNBA, and FIBA scouts for the consideration of contracts at the US and international professional basketball level.
The event will include everything from action-packed tournament-style games and world-class drills to intensive speed and athletic tests all in an effort to demonstrate what it takes to play at the professional level. Data for all registered players is shared internationally before, during and after the combine to inform scouts on key metrics associated with professional evalutation, including: athleticism, reading plays and decision-making, levels of contribution to a winning team and attitude.
