Malcolm Brogdon has been invited to the 2016 NBA Draft Combine, per a report from ESPN's Jeff Goodman.
The Combine, which will be held from May 11 to May 15 in Chicago, for scouts, coaches, and other team officials to evaluate NBA prospects. Brogdon and his peers will participate in an (ESPN-televised!) series of athletic and physical tests, and will also interview with interested teams. About 70 players are invited each year, with invites determined by a vote from NBA teams. Here's a handy list of known invites:

Brogdon is projected as a late first round to second round pick in the NBA Draft in Brooklyn on June 23rd. (It's certainly a good sign when NBA.com is publishing stories like this one, proclaiming Brogdon is "ready to do special things" on the court.)
Here's a roundup of mock drafts from around the internet. (I was unable to locate a mock that projected both the first and second rounds of the draft that did not include Brogdon, but many, such as ESPN's, USA Today's, etc. only include round 1 or less.)
