Report: Zion heads 1st list of invitees to NBA draft green room

Duke star Zion Williamson heads the first list of invitees to the NBA draft green room, a source told ESPN's Jonathan Givony.

Ja Morant, RJ Barrett, Darius Garland, De'Andre Hunter, Jarrett Culver, Coby White, Cam Reddish, and Jaxson Hayes also received invitations.

A second set of players will be invited, with the number of accepted invites from the first batch determining how many more invitations are sent out. The league is aiming for 20 players in the green room.

The green room is usually reserved for the draft's top prospects as they await their selection on draft night and their inner circle.
