  Eight underclassmen in our Top 100 (mostly in the Nos. 70-100 range) who have yet to hire agents were not invited, perhaps a sign that NBA teams think they need to return to school for another year. That includes Florida’s Jalen Hudson (No. 45), St. John’s Shamorie Ponds (No. 63), Purdue’s Carsen Edwards (No. 71), Texas’ Kerwin Roach (No. 72) and Iowa State’s Lindell Wigginton (No. 73). These players can still conduct NBA team workouts prior to the combine and in the 10 days after the event concludes, giving them a last chance to gather feedback before they likely decide to return to school. Three underclassmen in our Top 100 who weren’t invited to Chicago have already indicated their intent to hire agents and forgo NCAA eligibility: Louisville’s Ray Spalding (No. 59), Texas A&M’s DJ Hogg (No. 68) and Wake Forest’s Doral Moore (No. 91). Their road to the NBA is far from over, but this is certainly an unexpected hurdle. Other notable underclassmen who have already hired agents but weren’t invited: Lagerald Vick (Kansas), Deng Adel (Louisville), Drew Eubanks (Oregon State), Terry Larrier (UConn), Robert Franks (Washington State), Mustapha Heron (Auburn) and LiAngelo Ball (UCLA/Vytautas). Four players on our Top 100 are injured and unable to participate: SMU’s Jarrey Foster (No. 56), Notre Dame’s Bonzie Colson (No. 86), Texas Tech’s Keenan Evans (No. 90) and Purdue’s Isaac Haas (No. 99).
  Players who will attempt to join that list in 2018 include Gary Clark (No. 62 in the ESPN 100), Vincent Edwards (No. 76), MiKyle McIntosh (No. 80) and Theo Pinson (No. 89).

Not receiving an invite doesn’t guarantee I’ll get drafted. Guys like Dedmon guys invites but didn’t hear their names called on draft night. Guys like Josh Richardson & Fred Van Fleet didn’t get invites, but started for playoffs teams. My Top 5 combine snubs r. 1. Colson (injured) 2. Ethan Happ (had workout with LakersMay 3rd) 3. Trevon Bluiett 4. Hudson (Florida) 5.Spalding (Louisville)

Absurd Gelo will not be invited to the combine. A gosh darn travesty.

RudeBoy mentioned his name already, but Ethan Happ is a huge snub.
Yes, he’s not exactly what teams look for in a ‘modern’ NBA big. He isn’t a plus athlete. He doesn’t have great length. He might be a tweener at the next level. And yeah, right now he can’t shoot (and is jumper is ugly).
But he has tremendous IQ on both ends of the floor. He’s also an elite screener, very good on the low block, great passer, very good ball handler, and tremendously productive (almost 18/8/4/1.5/1.1 on 53% from the floor despite being the only legitimate Badger player for most of the season).
Not sure how he didn’t get an invite, even though he’s probably coming back to Wisconsin next year no matter what.
