Arizona Wildcats Send Four Players to NBA Combine Ahead of June Draft
Jaden Bradley and Tobe Awaka lead four Arizona players invited to the NBA Combine, highlighting their draft stock as the June 23‑24 event approaches.

Arizona Purdue Elite Eight
TL;DR: Two Arizona seniors, Jaden Bradley and Tobe Awaka, were among the 73 players invited to the NBA Combine. Four Wildcats total received invites, signaling draft interest as the June 23‑24 event nears.
Context
Arizona’s departing seniors Bradley and Awaka joined freshman guards Brayden Burries and Koa Peat on the Combine list. Former Wildcats Kylan Boswell and Henri Veesaar also received invites. The NBA said a select number of standout performers from the G League Combine would stay for the NBA Combine, though those names have not been released.
Key Facts
- Bradley and Awaka are two of the 73 Combine participants. - Awaka led Division I in offensive rebounding percentage at 20.2%, grabbing just over one‑fifth of Arizona’s missed shots when on the floor. - Bradley earned Big 12 Player of the Year honors after averaging 13.3 points and 4.4 assists with a 2.5‑1 assist‑to‑turnover ratio. - Burries led the team in scoring at 16.1 points per game; Peat averaged 14.1 points and 5.6 rebounds. - ESPN’s latest big board ranks Burries 10th, Peat 22nd, Bradley 56th, Awaka 110th, Veesaar 31st and Boswell 66th. - The NBA Draft offers 60 slots and will be held June 23‑24 in Brooklyn, New York.
What It Means
The Combine invites give scouts a direct look at Bradley’s playmaking and Awaka’s rebounding, both areas where they have shown national‑leading production. While Burries and Peat are projected first‑round picks and may limit their Combine participation, the seniors’ presence suggests they are fighting for second‑round or two‑way contract spots. Watch for any G League Combine standouts who may be added to the NBA Combine roster in the coming days, as those additions could shift the draft outlook for Arizona’s remaining prospects.
