Three former Duke basketball players were invited to the potential NBA Combine, pending the league is able to operate for a pre-draft process.
There was no shock in finding out that Duke basketball products Tre Jones, Cassius Stanley, and Vernon Carey Jr. were all invited to the NBA Draft Combine, but the real shock came when it was learned that invites were still sent despite a combine potentially not happening.
The NBA sent emails to the 105 players that were invited to the combine, and the league office also told each player that he would be required to fill out a questionnaire regarding the workouts and ongoing coronavirus pandemic, according to ESPN’s Jonathan Givony.
