The draft combine week begins with updates on players who could return to college and transfer portal news.
The NBA’s weeklong pre-draft festivities in Chicago began over the weekend with the G League Elite Camp, where the 45 best players not invited to the main draft combine had the chance to play in front of NBA teams and audition for a spot in the combine.
Ellis was the best player in Saturday’s action with an efficient 23 points, and earned the call-up despite a quiet performance Sunday. Ellis’s style of play as a shoot-first combo guard aligns well with the players who have performed well in this event in the past, but it was a good reminder of his natural shot-making instincts and ability to play in ball screens. How he defends and distributes the basketball will define his long-term NBA future.
Georgia Tech’s Baye Ndongo had a big freshman season and continued that momentum with a strong performance this weekend. He measured with a 7’3” wingspan and looked impressive as a roll man and lob threat in ball-screen situations. Plus, he stacked up eight combined blocks and steals in Saturday’s scrimmage and followed that up with three more steals and a block Sunday. He is already 21 years old , but it wouldn’t be a surprise if he winds up staying in this draft.
