Six more 2026 prospects have been invited to the draft green room, reports Jeremy Woo of ESPN (via Twitter).
Here are the six players, sorted by their rank on ESPN’s big board:
A total of 20 players have now been invited to the green room after 14 draft-eligible players were sent invitations last week.
Here are the original 14 players who received invitations, sorted by their rank at ESPN:
Santa Clara forward Allen Graves (No. 17) is the only player amongst the top 21 on ESPN’s board to not receive an invite to this point. It’s possible that could occur in the next week or so if there’s a final wave of invitations before the first round starts on June 23.
The players invited to the green room can typically feel pretty confident about their chances to be first-round picks, since the league only decides who to invite after asking teams to vote on the 25 prospects whom they expect to come off the board first. Still, it’s not always a lock. In 2024, for instance, green room invitees Kyle Filipowski and Johnny Furphy had to wait until the second day of the draft to hear their names called.
In 2025, all 24 prospects who were invited to the green room by the NBA for the first day of the draft were among the 30 first-round picks. The league subsequently invited 12 more players to be in the green room for the second round a day later.
