The 2025 NBA draft combine tipped off on Monday as prospects hit the court for strength and agility testing, anthropometric measurements and more in Chicago, Illinois.
The NBA announced on May 2 that 75 players were invited to the annual scouting event at the Wintrust Arena. Five more players earned invitations to the festivities after emerging as the top scrimmage performers from the G League Elite Camp.

The combine this year marks the second time prospects were required to participate in drills, interviews and medical testing, as outlined in the collective bargaining agreement. Prospects can be ruled ineligible to be drafted if they skip certain portions without sufficient reasoning.

Golden State Warriors jersey history - No. 15 - Steve Burtt (1984-85)

The Golden State Warriors have had over 600 players don the more than 60 jersey numbers used by their players over the more than 75 years of existence the team has enjoyed in its rich and storied history. Founded in 1946 during the Basketball Association of America (BAA -- a precursor league of the NBA) era, the team has called home the cities of Philadelphia, San Francisco, Oakland, and even San Diego. To commemorate the players who wore those numbers, Warriors Wire is covering the entire history of jersey numbers and the players who sported them since the founding of the team. For this article, we begin with the 19th of 27 players who wore the No. 15 jersey for the Warriors. That player would be Golden State guard alum Steve Burtt. After ending his college career at Iona College, Burtt was picked up with the 30th overall selection of the 1984 NBA draft by the Warriors. The New Yorker would play the first season of his pro career with the Dubs, coming to an end when he left to play in another domestic league in 1985. During his time suiting up for the Warriors, Burtt wore only jersey No. 15 and put up 4.2 points per game. All stats and data courtesy of Basketball Reference.
