Nate Bittle, former Oregon Ducks center, has received an invitation to the G League Elite Camp after deciding to return to college for another season. He aims to improve his draft stock for the 2026 NBA Draft despite being left off the initial list for the NBA Scouting Combine.
Coming off the 2024-25 season, Oregon Ducks center Nate Bittle was considered a potential second round pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. But after going through parts of the draft process, he decided to return to Oregon and attempt to bolster his draft stock with another season in Eugene.
While Bittle still averaged 16.8 points and 6.9 rebounds per game, last season was a disaster for the Ducks on all fronts. They won just 12 games and Bittle suffered a foot injury that sidelined him for several weeks, among a string of injuries across the roster.
Now having exhausted his eligibility, Bittle is leaning all the way into the draft process with hopes of hearing his name called during the 2026 NBA Draft — yet it will be an uphill battle, as he was left off the initial list of invitees to the scouting combine in Chicago from May 10-17. Instead, Bittle was invited to the G League Elite Camp, where he'll aim to excel and eventually earn a late invite to the NBA's combine.
Bittle was listed among USA TODAY's top players to not receive an invite to the 2026 NBA Scouting Combine, but rather being invited to the G League's version of the event.
Having finished the season healthy and having to fight just to make it to the scouting combine, the expectation is that Bittle will participate in everything at the G League Elite Camp, which will include agility and strength testing, on-court drills and scrimmages.
The same drills take place at the scouting combine, plus meetings with NBA teams, but it remains to be seen if the former Duck will work his way into a spot and be able to compete in Chicago.
