The 2017 Professional Basketball Combine, not to be confused with the NBA Combine, kicked off Tuesday at IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida.
The combine is for prospects on the cusp of getting drafted in June, and it gives NBA teams an opportunity to further evaluate the incoming talent.
15 NBA teams were in attendance to evaluate 22 prospects, including two recent Gators in forward Justin Leon and guard Canyon Barry.
