Arkansas will have four players participating at the NBA Draft Combine this week in an attempt to raise their draft stock in front of coaches, scouts and NBA personnel, who are evaluating all 78 combine participants.
Freshmen Anthony Black, Jordan Walsh and Nick Smith Jr. will be accompanied by junior Ricky Council IV at Wintrust Arena in Chicago, Illinois, throughout the process. Arkansas' four participants is tied with UCLA for the most of any team at the combine.
