Arizona basketball: Hollis-Jefferson invited to draft 'green room'

While Johnson has always been considered a likely lottery pick and thus a green-room no-brainer, the invitation is a good sign for Hollis-Jefferson because they are given out based largely on feedback from NBA scouts.

The NBA doesn't want to have guys invited to the green room who slip out of the first round, so only players who are expected to go no lower than the Top 25 are usually invited.

"Is he guaranteed a Top 20 pick? No," said Mike George, Hollis-Jefferson's agent. "But we feel pretty good."

Hollis-Jefferson concluded his predraft workouts today at Atlanta and will travel to New York in time for predraft appearances on Wednesday. On Thursday, he'll be sponsoring a busload of kids from his native Chester who will watch the draft in person.

The full list of green room invitees:

• Devin Booker (Kentucky)

• Willie Cauley-Stein (Kentucky)

• Sam Dekker (Wisconsin)

• Jerian Grant (Notre Dame)

• Rondae Hollis-Jefferson (UA)

• Stanley Johnson (UA)

• Frank Kaminsky (Wisconsin)

• Kevon Looney (UCLA)

• Trey Lyles (Kentucky)

• Emmanuel Mudiay (Democratic Republic of Congo)

• Jahlil Okafor (Duke)

• Kelly Oubre, Jr. (Kansas)

• Cameron Payne (Murray State)

• Bobby Portis (Arkansas)

• Kristaps Porzingis (Latvia)

• D'Angelo Russell (Ohio State)

• Karl-Anthony Towns (Kentucky)

• Myles Turner (Texas)

• Justise Winslow (Duke)

According to Draft Express, Utah's Delon Wright was among those declining an invitation.

On an ESPN conference call today, analyst Jay Bilas said he had Johnson at about 10 or 11 on his draft board. (Draft Express moved Johnson up to No. 8.)

"There are legit questions about Stanley Johnson but his positives are really good. I think he can be a confident shooter," Bilas said. "He's not a natural shooter but a big, strong athlete and he's always been a winner at the highest level. He won four straight high school (California state) championships and his USA Basketball teams always won. I just don't think that's an accident."

Allonzo Trier checked in at 6-foot-4 without shoes and 206.5 pounds in USA Basketball measurements last week. Trier also had a wingspan of 78.0 inches.

T.J. Leaf measured 6-8 3/4 without shoes and 220 pounds with an 83-inch wingspan.
