SALT LAKE CITY — The NBA’s annual draft combine kicked off on Monday, though that doesn’t mean the same thing that it has in years past.
Usually the combine takes place in Chicago, in May, with many of the incoming prospects convening in one place to go through different drills and tests, while being interviewed and working out for various team executives.
This year the combine has been reformatted to take place in NBA markets around the country and virtually because of the coronavirus pandemic. In October, players participating in the combine will take part in on-court workouts and drills, measurements and strength and agility testing in the NBA market that is closest to where they are living.
