Eight additional players have emerged as green room invitees for this month’s forthcoming 2024 draft.
Sources have informed Jonathan Givony of ESPN (via various X posts) that Kentucky point guard Rob Dillingham, EuroLeague point guard Nikola Topic, Duke guard Jared McCain and power forward Kyle Filipowski, Miami swingman Kyshawn George, USC point guard Isaiah Collier, Kansas wing Johnny Furphy, and Baylor center Yves Missi have all been invited to attend the draft in person.
Givony notes that Dillingham earned the invitation after he wrapped up his NBA Combine prerequisites on Friday morning, at the Lakers’ El Segundo practice facility.
Dillingham, a 6’3″ All-SEC Second Teamer in 2023/24 as a freshman, is the best-regarded player on ESPN’s big board, where he’s ranked as the No. 7-best prospect available this summer. Missi is the lowest-ranked hopeful on this list, as he’s ranked at No. 23.
All-American Purdue center Zach Edey also received an invite, Givony tweets, though he is opting to watch the draft at Purdue instead, with his family, coaches, and Boilermakers teammates in attendance.
This group is joining the 12 other likely first round draft picks whose green room invitations have already been announced.
