The green room at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn for Thursday night's NBA draft is unlikely to contain any non-college players, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski and Jonathan Givony.

The green room is where players expected to be selected in the first round gather and wait for their names to be called on draft night. Players require an invitation to be there, and the only non-college player who received an invite this year - Slovenia-born Real Madrid guard Luka Doncic - may be unable to attend because his team is currently playing in the Liga ACB finals.

Madrid is tied 1-1 with Kirolbet Baskonia in the best-of-five series, which could end as early as Tuesday but would run until Friday if it goes to five games, precluding Doncic from traveling to Brooklyn for the draft.

According to Wojnarowski and Givony, the other known invitees are DeAndre Ayton, Marvin Bagley III, Jaren Jackson Jr., Mo Bamba, Collin Sexton, Trae Young, Wendell Carter Jr., Michael Porter Jr., Mikal Bridges, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Miles Bridges, Kevin Knox, Robert Williams, Lonnie Walker IV, Donte DiVincenzo, Zhaire Smith, Jerome Robinson, Chandler Hutchison, and Aaron Holiday, all of whom attended American universities this past season.
