The actual event takes place on May 16 and 17 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. ET and can be seen on ESPNU. Scouts and front-office personnel use this opportunity to get an up-close look at these prospects in order to decide who is worth drafting on June 27.

Among the names listed is virtually anyone that can be expected to be drafted in the first round, including all of the top players in the class. 

Kentucky's Nerlens Noel is arguably the best available and will be in attendance at the scouting event, although he is still recovering from a torn ACL. Ben McLemore of Kansas, Otto Porter of Georgetown and Indiana's Victor Oladipo are other big names to keep an eye on.

Of course, there are always people left off of the list, and Ford takes a look at some notable snubs:

D.J. Stephens is one player that should be extremely disappointed, because his athleticism is something that could help him move up draft boards over the next few weeks. His exclusion will certainly hurt his ability to turn heads. 

Still, there are plenty of other elite prospects available for teams to get a look at in Chicago. All of these players are looking to show the squads one thing: that they have what it takes to make it in the NBA.
