The NBA Draft Combine has released its list of names of who will be participating in the virtual combine, and three Kentucky Wildcats will be participating.

Ashton Hagans, Nick Richards and Immanuel Quickley will be the three Wildcats showing their skills in the virtual combine. Noticeably absent is Tyrese Maxey, who presumably already knows where he may be headed and is projected as a low-lottery pick.
The only projected first round pick for Kentucky is Maxey, with all three of Richards, Quickley and Hagans being seen as late second round picks.
Another noticeable attendee is former Wildcats forward Khalil Whitney. Whitney left the program back in early January due to a lack of playing time and to prepare for the NBA Draft.
EJ Montgomery is absent from the list, which is unfortunate to say the least.
Top projected picks James Wiseman, Anthony Edwards and Obi Toppin will also not be participating in the virtual combine.
