Nevada basketball alum Kobe Sanders is one of 75 players invited to this year’s NBA Draft Combine, which will take place May 11-18 in Chicago.
Also invited was former Wolf Pack player Darrion Williams, who most recently played at Texas Tech but also is in the transfer portal with an additional year of college eligibility remaining.
Sanders will be the first Wolf Pack alum since Jalen Harris in 2020 to compete at the NBA Draft Combine. Harris was a second-round draft pick that season. Of the previous 12 Nevada players invited to the combine, seven were drafted.
A 6-foot-9, 207-pound guard, Sanders spent his first four college seasons at Cal Poly before transferring to Nevada. As a senior this year, he averaged 15.8 points, 4.5 assists, 3.9 rebounds and 1.1 steals per game. He shot 46 percent from the field, including 34.2 percent from three. Sanders made 79.5 percent of his free throws.
Sanders is 74th on ESPN’s top-100 big board and had a strong showing at the Portsmouth Invitational, a showcase for college seniors. He is one of three Mountain West players who was invited to the combine, joined by San Diego State’s Miles Byrd and Colorado State’s Nique Clifford.
