The NBA Draft Combine continues to showcase the global reach of the NBA, as a strong group of European and internationally connected prospects headline the list of 73 invited players for the 2026 edition in Chicago.
With the event set to take place from May 10–17 at Wintrust Arena, several names from across Europe and beyond will have the opportunity to significantly impact their draft stock, led by highly intriguing talents such as Aday Mara, Sergio de Larrea, Andrej Stojaković, and Luigi Suigo.
Mara stands out as one of the most highly touted prospects. The Spanish big man and NCAA champion with Michigan is expected to draw significant attention in Chicago.
Another Spanish talent, Sergio de Larrea, arrives after playing a notable role for Valencia in the EuroLeague this season, while Andrej Stojaković, son of Peja Stojaković, is coming off a NCAA Final Four run with Illinois.
Italian international Luigi Suigo, who debuted for the senior national team this season, also played for Mega in the ABA League, a club known for developing NBA prospects.
Other international names include Baba Miller, who played for Real Madrid before continuing his career at Cincinnati, and Henri Veesaar, who followed a similar path from Real Madrid to North Carolina.
Germany will have multiple representatives, including Christian Anderson Jr. (Texas Tech), Jack Kayil (ALBA Berlin), and Hannes Steinbach, who moved from Würzburg to Washington in 2025.
Meanwhile, Milan Momčilović, of Serbian heritage, had a strong season with Iowa State and is another name to watch among the international invitees.
In addition to the main event, the NBA also confirmed that standout performers from the NBA G League Elite Camp (May 8–10) will have the chance to earn late invitations to the Combine, further expanding opportunities for emerging talents.
