Washington’s Jaylen Nowell, Matisse Thybulle invited to NBA draft combine
Matisse Thybulle and Jaylen Nowell received invitations to the NBA draft combine, which is a small victory for the Washington Huskies stars whose pro prospects remain unclear.
Roughly 60-70 players will attend the May 15-19 combine in Chicago and nabbing a spot for the auditions in front of NBA teams is generally considered a positive sign for draft hopefuls.
With seven weeks remaining before the June 20 draft, there are few certainties regarding the UW duo.
In recent days, Thybulle’s stock in several mock drafts has soared.
For weeks the 6-foot-5 senior guard had been tabbed as someone who would be taken early or in the middle of the second round.
