📊 Why Green Room Invitations Matter (Even for Round Two)

  1. Signal of Team Interest: Being in the green room suggests teams view these players as likely second-round selections or prime candidates for two-way or guaranteed contracts—spots where timing and visibility are crucial.
  2. Bonus Exposure: The green room experience elevates visibility, giving fans, media, and execs a chance to gauge composure and presentation skills up close—even for players not projected to go in Round One (hoopsrumors.com).
  3. Upside Potential: Teams can pivot quickly if a first-round pick falls into the Second Round. Having green room players prepared can accelerate their selection—especially for high-upside talents.

🔍 Highlights of Round-Two Invitees

  • Rasheer Fleming (Saint Joseph’s, PF)
    A sharpshooting forward (39% from 3-point range) with a 6‑8 frame and 7‑5 wingspan. CBS Sports flagged him as a “screaming sleeper” who fits modern NBA spacing and defense schemes (cbssports.com).
  • Ryan/Kameron Jones (Marquette, G)
    A premier catch-and-shoot guard with 36.6% career 3‑point accuracy. Jones offers off-ball shooting and anti-hero scoring—valued at the NBA bench level (cbssports.com).
  • Maxime Raynaud (Stanford, C)
    A non-traditional big with guard-like skill: long-range shooting, playmaking, and plug-and-play frontcourt potential. CBS Sports expected him off the board by pick 40 (sports.yahoo.com, cbssports.com).
  • Johni Broome (Auburn, C)
    Just featured among Round-2 names—Broome’s presence confirms stronger draft forecasts than usual for second-round bigs (on3.com, cbssports.com).

    Fresh off a Kentucky season, officially selected 41st by Phoenix—and included in the green room invite list (on3.com).
