NBA Draft

What to watch for: 2025 NBA Draft Combine

It’s NBA Draft Combine week in Chicago, a pivotal week for Dusty May and Michigan.

The Wolverines will be tracking their two stars from last year’s team in Chicago, Danny Wolf and Vlad Goldin, who both received invites, while also keeping tabs on the potential star of next year’s team, UAB transfer Yaxel Lendeborg.

Combine events tipped off over the weekend with the NBA’s G-League Elite Camp. This week will continue with the NBA Draft Lottery, official measurements and testing, interviews, five-on-five scrimmages, and agency-organized pro days throughout this week.

When the events wrap up on May 18th, players testing the waters will have ten days to decide whether to remain in the NBA Draft or return to college before May 28th.

Here’s what to watch for this week in Chicago.
