For many prospects, the combine is the chance to impress teams, especially during the scrimmage portion of the event. Generally speaking, however, the combine is more about interviews and meetings for the very top prospects—this year, that includes Duke's Cooper Flagg, Rutgers' Dylan Harper and Ace Bailey and Baylor's V.J. Edgecombe, among others—than it is about the testing or scrimmages.

Flagg is the overwhelming favorite to be the top overall selection, with the Utah Jazz, Washington Wizards and Charlotte Hornets each holding 14 percent odds to obtain the No. 1 pick.

The New Orleans Pelicans (12.5 percent), Philadelphia 76ers (10.5 percent), Brooklyn Nets (9 percent), Toronto Raptors (7.5 percent), San Antonio Spurs (6 percent), Houston Rockets (3.8 percent, via Phoenix), Portland Trail Blazers (3.7 percent), Dallas Mavericks (1.8 percent), Chicago Bulls (1.7 percent), Sacramento Kings (0.8 percent) and Spurs (0.7 percent, via Atlanta) round out the draft lottery.
