The G League Elite Camp in Chicago allows NBA draft prospects the opportunity to earn an invite to the NBA Draft Combine, held in Chicago next week. The G League Elite Camp concludes tomorrow, with Bates’ Team 1 playing Team 4, which features Arizona’s Caleb Love and Kentucky’s Andrew Carr.
Meanwhile, Grill’s Team 2 will take on Team 3, which is headlined by Florida’s Will Richard and Auburn’s Dylan Caldwell.
Through the pre-draft process, Bates is hoping to earn his opportunity with the same skillset that made him successful in college.
“I make shots on the offensive end, and I try to be extremely disruptive on the defensive end,” Bates said in a interview with the NBA G League X account. “I’m just looking to continue to build upon what I’ve always done.

Luther Burden was slow to get up after catching a deep ball in 7 on 7 and clutched at his midsection before being tended to by a trainer. OC Declan Doyle said he would defer all injury questions to Ben Johnson, who talked yesterday.

#Jets HC Aaron Glenn told @eallenjets that he could easily describe rookie OT Armand Membou as a ‘dancing bear but everyone says that’ when asked about the way he moves at 332 pounds.
‘He’s an agile gifted big man with measurables everyone wants.’

Former Missouri wide receiver Theo Wease Jr. was a standout at Day 1 of rookie minicamp for the Miami Dolphins, according to ESPN’s Marcel Louis-Jacques.
My thoughts after watching about 30 minutes of Dolphins rookie camp:
It’s rookie camp….but I liked UDFA WR Theo Wease Jr.’s ability to high point the ball in traffic and pluck it out the air
No other takes 😂
