Those players who are invited to the draft usually provide a fairly good indication of who the league expects to be taken in the first round. It doesn’t always work out that way — sometimes there are those who go unpicked and have to choose whether to come back the next day — but in most cases it works out.
Last year they invited 22 prospects to attend the draft. Of those, five went unpicked in the first round. Those who were not were Chidobe Awuzie, Kevin King, DeShone Kizer, Malik McDowell, and Cam Robinson. King, Robinson, and McDowell went with the first three picks in the second round.
