Oshae Brissett scored 12.4 points last season including a 14 point, eight rebound performance in the first round of the NCAA tournament.

Syracuse forward Oshae Brissett was among 10 players at the NBA G League Elite Camp to advance to the NBA Draft Combine, per ESPN.



Brissett, who averaged 12.4 points and 7.5 rebounds per game in his sophomore year with the Orange, participated in the Elite Camp with former Syracuse teammate Tyus Battle. Battle did not receive an invite to the Draft Combine.

The inaugural G League Elite Camp replaces the NBA G League Elite Mini Camp and is open to 2019 NBA Draft hopefuls, allowing a select group of players to advance to the NBA Draft Combine. The selection was made from a poll of NBA Executives, per ESPN.

The NBA Draft Combine began Tuesday and will run through Sunday, May 19. Brissett will have until May 29 to decide whether he will withdraw his name from the 2019 NBA Draft and return for his junior year at Syracuse.
