4. Josh Perkins, Gonzaga Bulldogs

Josh Perkins is another guard that performed well this past season only to be snubbed by the NBA Combine. Perkins was a member of the Gonzaga Bulldogs as their floor general and as a two-way threat, he excelled.

He put up 11.0 points, 6.3 assists, 2.7 rebounds and 1.5 steals per game for the Bulldogs in 2018-19. As Gonzaga went on a 33-4 record and undefeated in WCC play at 16-0, Perkins was a model of consistency at the point guard position.

Perkins finished second in the conference in total assists (234) and first in steals (54) last season as one of the best facilitators and defenders in the country, but it still wasn’t enough to get the scouts attention.

At the PIT, Perkins earned All-Tournament honors as he led as guards in assists per game (10.3) for his squad. In fact, he averaged more assists than points per game (9.3) in showing off his abilities. It will be interesting to see how he performs at the G-League Combine as it could ultimately earn him an invite to the NBA Combine.
