Givony notes that Dillingham earned the invitation after completing his NBA Combine prerequisites Friday morning, at the Lakers’ practice facility in El Segundo.

Dillingham, a 6’3″ All-SEC sophomore in 2023/24 as a freshman, is the most highly regarded player on ESPN’s big board, where he is ranked as the 7th best prospect available this summer. Missi is the lowest-ranked prospect on this list, as he is ranked 23rd.

Purdue All-American Center Zach Edey also received an invitation, Givony tweets, although he chose instead to watch the draft at Purdue, with his family, coaches and Boilermakers teammates in attendance.

This group joins 12 other likely first-round picks whose invitations to the green room have already been announced.
