nbaUVA Basketball will be represented at the 2019 NBA Draft Combine by a trio of players who were instrumental in the program’s run to a national championship.

De’Andre Hunter, Ty Jerome and Kyle Guy each received invites to the combine, which will feature five-on-five games as well as shooting and strength and agility drills at Quest Multisport in Chicago on Thursday, May 16 and Friday, May 17.

ESPN 2 will provide coverage both days from 3-7 p.m. ET.

Mamadi Diakite is among a group of players who can play their way in to an invite through the G League Elite Camp, which will take place May 12-14 at Quest Multisport.

Diakite has left open the possibility of returning to school pending the evaluations from NBA scouts and front offices.

Hunter, Jerome and Guy have all indicated that they plan to remain in the draft.
