Guard is one of 24 NCAA invitee to Professional Basketball Combine
HOUSTON – University of Houston guard Nate Hinton received an invitation to the Professional Basketball Combine on Thursday morning.
Hinton was one of 24 NCAA and six international honorees.
The PBC is a secondary NBA Draft combine, primarily for prospects in the 2nd Round, UDFA, Two-Way, Exhibit-10, and overseas wheelhouse, with a strong history of identifying under-the-radar talent, helping them to maximize their pre-draft exposure to pro hoops decision-makers, and providing them an opportunity to make the most informed decision about their basketball future.
The PBC was previously held each year at Mamba Sports Academy, but the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic forced the cancellation of the in-person event.
Houston guard Corey Davis Jr. participated in the PBC in 2019. In three years, the combine has produced participants with more than 10 two-way contracts, over 40 NBA Summer League invitations, more than 35 G League contracts and multiple international professional contracts.
