2024 NBA Draft: UConn’s Donovan Clingan and French prospects among 24 players to accept green room invitations

The 2024 NBA Draft is less than a week away and the list of players who have accepted green room invitations for Wednesday’s draft has been determined, according to ESPN’s Jonathan Givony. The list is headlined by French big man Alex Sarr, Kentucky’s Reed Sheppard and UConn’s Donovan Clingan.

Invitations to the green room are given to the top prospects for each year’s draft and NBA team presidents or general managers are given the opportunity to vote for the top 25 players they believe will be selected first. Most players who receive an invitation to the green room are selected in the first round of the draft.

Of the 25 players invited to the green room last season, 24 were selected in the first round of the draft. The only player who was not selected in the first round was Rayan Rupert, who was selected 43rd overall by the Portland Trail Blazers.

Most players invited to the green room accept the invitation. Purdue’s Zach Edey, the two-time reigning Naismith Player of the Year, received an invitation but declined. He will watch the draft from home with his family. Edey is projected as a first-round pick.
