Several others players, including Georgia's Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Pittsburgh's Steven Adams, UCLA's Shabazz Muhammad, Russia's Sergey Karasev, Gonzaga's Kelly Olynyk and Greece's Giannis Antetokounmpo, could be extended invites.
An invitation to the green room doesn't guarantee any particular selection but invitees rarely fall too far out of the lottery.
The Portland Blazers hold the No. 10 pick in Thursday's NBA Draft. McCollum, Zeller, Caldwell-Pope, Adams and Olynyk worked out in Portland while Len, who is injured, also met with the team.
Caldwell-Pope and Adams are the only players currently in DraftExpress.com's top 10 who didn't receive an invite yet.
