The NBA is out with the players who will be in the Green Room for Thursday’s NBA Draft.
The event is set for 8 p.m. ET on Thursday at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y.
The green room is a staging area in front of the NBA Draft podium where players, families, agents and others await Commissioner Adam Silver calling each player’s name upon selection.
The invites are: Victor Wembanyama, Brandon Miller, Scoot Henderson, Amen Thompson, Ausar Thompson, Cameron Whitmore, Jarace Walker, Anthony Black, Taylor Hendricks, Gradey Dick, Bilal Coulibaly, Cason Wallace, Nick Smith, Dereck Lively II, Kobe Bufkin, Jalen Hood-Schifino, Jett Howard, Jordan Hawkins, Noah Clowney, Rayan Rupert, Jaime Jaquez Jr., Brandin Podziemski, Olivier-Maxence Prosper and Keyonte George.
Wembanyama, a 19-year-old from France, is widely expected to go No. 1 as he’s been called the best prospect since LeBron James came out of high school 20 years ago, as Wembanyama has skills of a much smaller player than his 7-foot-4 frame.
