How to make the NBA from outside the draft lottery, the Pro Basketball Combine

Watch the Game 7 coming up between Portland and Denver and you will see a few players — Seth Curry for the Blazers, Torrey Craig for Denver — contributing for their teams, guys who were not highly sought after lottery picks, they weren't drafted at all. How does a guy like that get noticed? How does a player not drafted in the first 45 (if at all) get the attention of a team, make a Summer League or G-League roster? Enter Jake Kelfer and his Professional Basketball Combine, an event in Southern California later this month where players not at the NBA's Draft Combine or G-League Elite Camp get a chance to impress in workouts and other combine events. Kelfer joins Kurt Helin of NBC Sports to talk about the Professional Basketball Combine, it's success — players such as Antonio Blakeney and Charles Cooke have come through it, and 23 guys have picked up Summer League invites — and what it takes to get paid to play basketball for the guys not destined for the NBA lottery.
