<P> The NBA Draft Combine is a multi-day showcase that takes place every May before the annual June NBA draft . At the combine, college basketball players receive measurements, participate in interviews, undergo shooting drills, take medical tests, go through five - on - five drills and perform various athletic tests in front of National Basketball Association (NBA) coaches, general managers, and scouts . Athletes attend by invitation only . An athlete's performance during the combine can affect perception, draft status, salary, and ultimately the player's career . </P> <P> The athletic tests include a standing vertical jump, maximum vertical jump, bench press, three - quarter - court sprint time, lane agility time, and modified event time . Physical measurements include height with shoes, height without shoes, wingspan, weight, standing reach, body fat, hand length, and hand width . The shooting tests include spot - up three - point field goals from various distances (high school, college, and NBA) depending upon position, shooting off the dribble, and timed jump shots on the move . Although the NBA Draft Combine is the largest pre-draft gathering for testing and drills, international players can attend a separate Eurocamp at a later date . Parts of the combine are televised on ESPNU and ESPN2 . </P> <P> In 2013, Rudy Gobert set the Combine records for wingspan 7 feet 8.5 inches (2.35 m) and standing reach 9 feet 7 inches (2.92 m). Those records would later be broken in 2018 by Mohamed Bamba . D.J. Stephens set the vertical leap record in 2013 at 46 inches (1.17 m). Combine results may or may not affect draft position, depending on certain results from it . Supposedly, medical test results caused Jared Sullinger to fall to No. 21 in 2012, while Kevin Durant was drafted No. 2 despite not being able to do a single repetition on the 185 - pound (84 kg) bench press . Durant is not alone; Jamal Crawford, Monta Ellis, T.J. Ford, and Luke Ridnour are among the zero - rep producers . The record is 27 reps by Jason Keep in 2003 . Most recently, in 2016, Tyler Ulis set the Combine record for being the lightest player to record his weight at the event, being set at 149 pounds . The heaviest players recorded at the Combine were Dexter Pittman back in 2010 and Isaac Haas in 2018, both of whom were set at 303 pounds . </P> <P> The invitation list is determined by a vote of the member teams of the NBA . In 2013, 63 players were invited . 60 players were invited in 2014 . The vast majority of players receiving invitations attend . In 2014, the top three candidates (Jabari Parker, Andrew Wiggins and Joel Embiid) declined invitations and a few others (such as Mitch McGary and Adreian Payne) declined after receiving them or at least declined full participation, but 59 participants were expected . Each team is allowed a maximum of 18 official interviews during the combine . </P>
