History

Historical Context

Following the NBA’s July 2005 age rule that ended direct high-school entries, teams relied on measurable athletic data. The 2006 combine showcased testing that reinforced the reputation of recent top picks such as Dwight Howard, the 2004 No. 1 selection, while Yao Ming’s 2002 pick as the first international No. 1 highlighted the league’s shift toward global, data-driven scouting. The 2026 combine extends this trend.
