A pair of Indiana Hoosiers are looking to boost their NBA stock this week.

According to Jonathan Givony of Draft Express, Lamar Wilkerson and Tucker DeVries have received G League Combine invites. The pair didn't make the cut for the list of 73 players invited to the NBA Draft Combine, but that doesn't mean their NBA dreams are done for.

The G League event is slated for May 8-10 in Chicago at Wintrust Arena, and Wilkerson and DeVries still have a chance to earn an invitation to the NBA Combine with a solid showing at the G League Combine.

Wilkerson and DeVries were Indiana's most productive players this past season, and now they are looking to carve out a path at the next level.

Lamar Wilkerson

Lamar Wilkerson led the Hoosiers and ranked 2nd in the Big Ten scoring 20.9 points per game in 2025-26. He started all 32 games and played over 34 minutes per game. In addition to his scoring prowess, Wilkerson also added 3.5 rebounds, 2.4 assists, and 1.0 steals per game for the Hoosiers.

Wilkerson was at his best in conference play, as he upped scoring average to 23.2 points per contest when facing Big Ten competition. He also posted the most Big Ten points per game by a Hoosier since George McGinnis in 1970-71. The Sam Houston State transfer also set a pair of IU program records by scoring 464 total points and knocking down 70 three-pointers in Big Ten play.

For his efforts, Wilkerson earned All-Big Ten Second Team honors from the league's coaches.

Tucker DeVries

Indiana's second-leading scorer this past season was Tucker DeVries with 13.7 points per game. DeVries was also IU's leading rebounder with 5.3 boards per contest, and was tied with Tayton Conerway for 2nd on the team with 3.3 assists per game.
