AJ Dybantsa, Darryn Peterson, Cam Boozer Reportedly Headline 2026 NBA Draft Green Room Invites

AJ Dybantsa, Darryn Peterson, Cameron Boozer and Caleb Wilson are among the players who reportedly received invites from the league to attend the 2026 NBA draft.

ESPN's Jeremy Woo shared the initial list, which includes 14 prospects:

Dybantsa, Peterson, Boozer and Wilson are generally considered the four best players in some order. That's how Bleacher Report's Jonathan Wasserman projected them to go on draft night.

Further down the board, who gets invited to the green room is often a strong indicator of who is trending toward the first round. That's especially true now in the NBA after it spread the draft across two nights.

More invitations could be forthcoming. For now, the league should avoid a scenario where one or two prospects are left sitting anxiously backstage as Round 1 enters its final stages.

Christian Anderson has the lowest projection in Wasserman's mock. The Texas Tech guard went 19th overall to the Toronto Raptors.

Alabama guard Labaron Philon Jr. was also on the fringe of the lottery at No. 14.

Mock drafts are always an inexact science. In the case of Anderson and Philon, both appear to be safe first-rounders. Their green room status only reinforces that.

The 2026 draft will unfold on June 23 and 24 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
