The G League Elite Camp in Chicago allows NBA draft prospects the opportunity to earn an invite to the NBA Draft Combine, held in Chicago next week. The G League Elite Camp concludes tomorrow, with Bates' Team 1 playing Team 4, which features Arizona's Caleb Love and Kentucky's Andrew Carr.

Meanwhile, Grill's Team 2 will take on Team 3, which is headlined by Florida's Will Richard and Auburn's Dylan Caldwell.

Through the pre-draft process, Bates is hoping to earn his opportunity with the same skillset that made him successful in college.

"I make shots on the offensive end, and I try to be extremely disruptive on the defensive end," Bates said in a interview with the NBA G League X account. "I'm just looking to continue to build upon what I've always done.
