The NBA Draft Combine has several key parts, the biggest being the intense independent medical evaluation every player is asked to undergo. The Combine is also a chance for NBA teams to host face-to-face interviews with players in a job-interview type of setting. While the anthropomorphic measurements and on-court play are whats televised, there is more to the Combine than just the games.
