The Oregon Ducks will be well-represented at the NBA Combine with Tyler Dorsey, Jordan Bell, and Dillon Brooks all receiving invites on Monday.

Last year Brooks and Dorsey also took time to check out basketball at the next level, but ultimately returned to Oregon to lead the team to their second Elite 8 and first Final Four since 1939. The NBA Combine gives players an opportunity to try out and workout for teams ahead of the NBA Draft.

These three players will be remembered for what the did in an Oregon Ducks uniform. Bell made his biggest impression in the NCAA Tournament which likely led to his decision to leave. Tyler Dorsey had a rough start to the year but came back strong. Dillon Brooks began the year on the bench recovering from a foot injury and stepped back into the Starting Lineup like he never left. He played hard, had game-winning moments on more than one occasion and provided leadership.

Between Bell, Brooks and Dorsey I believe that Bell has the best chance of being drafted and making an impact his Rookie season. Tyler Dorsey and Dillon Brooks may have a longer road to the NBA and have to put in work overseas to find success.
