Washington State Cougars star CJ Elleby has been invited to the NBA Draft Combine, the school announced today — another piece of the puzzle for him to consider as the junior-to-be prepares to make a final decision on whether to remain in the draft or return to school.
It’s obviously quite prestigious for Elleby to be among the 60 or so players invited — he’s the first Coug to earn that honor since Klay Thompson following the 2011 season. Players are invited after a nomination process by NBA teams, which means Elleby is likely on multiple teams’ radars.
