NBA Combine Invite List
The NBA has confirmed the invite list for the official NBA skills testng and measurements prior to the NBA draft.
Australia's Patty Mills and Joe Ingles were included. Luke Nevill is not on the list, and potentialy his declining of an invitation to the Portsmouth tourney has hurt his chances ofbeing drafted. No Aron Baynes either.
"With that said, there are a number of players who declined their Portsmouth invitations and weren't invited either, such as Lester Hudson, Jeremy Pargo, Dominic James, Kevin Rogers, Curtis Jerrells, Robert Dozier, Goran Suton and Luke Nevillwhich is unfortunate since they really did not give themselves any type of opportunity at all to be seen by NBA teams."

And further comments from Draft Express:
"Six players who are not listed on our mock draft were invited to the NBA combineJeff Adrien, Jon Brockman, DeMarre Carroll, Dionte Christmas, Luke Harangody, and Joe Ingles. Maybe we need to give them another look?"
Maybe there is hope yet for Ingles being drafted? Even if he is stashed in Europe like Newley?
