The 2017 NBA Draft Combine invite list has been revealed

The NBA Draft Combine is just around the corner (May 16), and this weekend the league released its list of invitees. The biggest news — as always — is Lonzo Ball, who ended up being the one big-name American prospect to turn down an invite. But there are some other things of note, particularly for Knicks fans.

• French point guard (and favorite of us Euro-centric draftniks) Frank Ntilikina will not participate, as he is still playing in season for his club, Strasbourg.
• Pretty much none of the potential lottery picks will be participating in the 5-on-5 drills, of course. Standard operating procedure.
• Some second-round prospects that have been linked to the Knicks, who have the No. 45 and 58 picks, in previous mock drafts will participate: Dwayne Bacon (Florida State), Frank Mason (Kansas), Wesley Iwundu (Kansas State).
