What is the nba combine?

The NBA combine is an annual event where prospects for the NBA draft showcase their skills and abilities in front of NBA coaches and scouts. It typically takes place in May and consists of various physical and athletic tests, as well as basketball drills and scrimmages. The combine allows teams to evaluate players' strengths and weaknesses and helps them make informed decisions on draft night. The combine also includes medical evaluations and interviews with draft prospects. In recent years, the combine has become increasingly important in the draft process, particularly for players who may not have had the opportunity to showcase their talents through college or international play.
