Evbuomwan put together a Bench Mob Blog All-Star season in 2024-25, capitalizing on the opportunites he was afforded by the tanking Nets. The British forward averaged 9.5 points in 23.8 minutes a game.

Reeves is a three-point sniper who shot 38.4% from deep in college and 39.5% as a rookie. He produced well for New Orleans in limited minutes and will look to do the same for Charlotte.

Martin, who was the 51st overall pick in 2022, went from nearly out of the league to a legitimate rotation-caliber guy with the Nets in 2024-25. He averaged 8.7 points and 2.0 assists for Brooklyn, showcasing strong shooting and connective passing chops.

Hall showed out in the 2025 Summer League for the Hornets and seemed poised to break out with the Grizzlies, but he was sacrificed so Memphis could bring in rookie Jahmai Mashack. The big man still has the potential to be a difference maker somehwere.

After missing 2023-24 while dealing with blood clots, Koloko is fighting to stick in the NBA and contribute. He's a defensive weapon and lob threat who any point guard would love playing with. The big man averaged 2.4 points on 60.6% from the field with the Lakers in 2024-25.

Rupert is a mystery box that could be unlocked with some patience. The former second-round pick averaged 4.0 points in 16.2 minutes per game as a rookie with the Blazers in 2023-24, but his role only dropped off from there.

A versatile big man who can space the floor, Carlson is perfect for the modern game. He was a member of OKC's 2025 championship squad.

Injury concerns led to McCullar falling to the 56th pick in the 2024 draft. He has the potential to be one of the biggest steals of his class with his rugged two-way abilities. The Kansas product was named the best perimeter defender on a two-way contract by TWT and BMB.

A gritty, hard-headed guard, Harkless is ready to help shift the culture in Utah. He appeared in 10 games for the Jazz as a rookie last season, averaging 3.2 points and 1.0 steals.

NBA fans who are tuned into college hoops too will recognize the name Caleb Love. He was a very polarizing player during his time in the NCAA, but a good one too with a long list of accolades and standout March Madness performances to his name.

An electric downhill guard with an unrelenting competitive spirit, Small is a very enticing prospect for the Grizzlies. He averaged 18.6 points and 5.6 assists at West Virginia last season.

Dante only played four games as a rookie for the Rockets in 2024-25, but he showed he belongs. The big man averaged 6.0 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks in just 12.8 minutes a night.

Ryan has a translatable movement shooter skillset that could help him find comfort on an NBA floor. His upside is limited, but he has one of the higher floors of any G League prospect right now.

Sanogo, who was the Most Outstanding Player of the 2023 NCAA tournament, can be a dominant force on the interior. He’s been one of the best per-minute rebounders in the NBA when he’s been on the court.

An integral part of Florida’s 2025 NCAA championship squad, Martin plays like a winner. He dogs on defense, makes sharp reads, and isn’t afraid of big moments. The bouncy guard will be a good fit in Toronto’s culture.

Brooks had a hot start to his NBA career, averaging 10.1 points on 48.6% shooting in 14 games for the Pelicans last season. He's lengthy, versatile, and tenacious, and more consistency as a shooter could land him in a rotation.

Barnhizer was somewhat of a surprise pick on 2025 draft night, but he quickly justified OKC’s excitement. The Northwestern product averaged 10.4 points and 2.6 steals in Summer League, showing all the grit and hustle the Thunder love to see from their role players.

Jones is a little-things king. He makes his impact by hustling on defense, crashing the glass and making sharp cuts. He earned a contract conversion as a rookie with the Sacramento Kings in 2024-25.

Shooting and positional size are two key attributes for a role player in today’s NBA, and Hinson has both. He torched nets from outside in college, shooting 42.1% on 7.9 attempts as a senior, and found similar success in the G League last season.

Jemison had a successful rookie year with the Grizzlies in 2023-24, averaging 7.4 points and 1.2 blocks while starting 14 games. He played a more limited role in his second year, but he still caught New York's eye, and the team may call his number if Mitchell Robinson goes down with an injury.

Enrique Freeman is a workhorse. He led the NCAA in rebounding as a senior at Akron despite being 6'7". He played a limited role as a rookie with the Pacers and is now moving to Minnesota.

OKC’s 2024 first-round pick was buried in the rotation as a rookie, averaging 2.5 points in 10.2 minutes per game. The Thunder parted ways with Jones after one season despite trading a haul of SRPs to draft him in the first place, and he has a chance to make them seriously regret it.

Jones Garcia was one of the hottest names on the two-way market over the summer. He made the 2K26 All-Summer League First Team, practically forcing the Spurs to give him a chance on the varsity squad.

Tshiebwe is one of the greatest rebounders college basketball has ever seen. The Kentucky product’s energy in the paint and on the glass has translated to the pros, too. He averaged 7.6 points and 8.7 rebounds in 18.2 minutes a night for the Jazz in 2024-25. It's no surprise that TWT and BMB named him the best rebounder on a two-way contract.

Council is an explosive microwave scorer who can fill it up from all three levels. He’s fearless and determined, but his high confidence can lead to streakiness. He averaged 21.6 points per 36 as a rookie with the 76ers in 2023-24.

Few two-way contract players in the league have more potential than Smith. The 21-year-old has a clear NBA skill in his shooting and plenty of room to grow in other areas. He averaged just 2.9 points for the Bucks as a rookie, but he played a small role and could look a lot better with the chance to spread his wings.

Whitehead, who was a first-round pick in 2023, is still just 21 years old. The young wing has proven he has a burner on him, and he has plenty of time to develop the rest of his game and become a solid role player.

Dallas’ already scary center rotation just got scarier. Cisse is a fierce rim protector with a Big 12 DPOY award and two Big 12 all-defense teams under his belt. The big man averaged 1.7 blocks per game in his college career.

An intimidating force on the interior, Goldin will have no trouble transitioning to the NBA physically. The Michigan product has some floor spacing potential as well.

Leons is a defensive menace who will gladly take on responsibilities at the point of attack, on the wing or from the helpside as a 6’9” forward. His offensive game has improved over time, too. The Netherlands native appeared in six games for OKC last season as a rookie.

While he hasn't lived up to the expectations of a 17th pick, Hood-Schifino still has some intrigue as a prospect. He averaged 7.8 points and 2.8 assists for the 76ers last season.

Tonje blossomed into an All-American in his pre-draft season at Wisconsin, averaging 19.6 points per game. The Madison Hammer's polished frame and game should help him succeed at the NBA level from day one.

Liddell was considered a first-round prospect by many back in 2022, but injuries led to him falling to the 41st pick and missing his entire rookie year. He hasn’t played many real minutes in his two healthy NBA campaigns, but has proved to be a defensive stalwart in the G League and Summer League.

Simpson is a gamer of a point guard who can control the flow of a contest with his scoring and floor generalship. His shot didn’t fall in his rookie year (25.4% from three), but it did in Summer League and history says it will continue to trend upwards.

Dixon was one of college basketball's best scorers (and players) at Villanova. He has the talent to succeed in the NBA, he just needs to figure out what role he fits best in.

A mountain of a man, Zikarsky should have an easier time adjusting to the NBA than most teenagers since he’s well over seven feet tall. The Australian has the potential to be a potent rim protector and has flashed some shooting as well.

A sparky, athletic wing, Rhoden has had some nice stretches on both ends of the floor in his three NBA seasons. In 2024-25, he averaged 11.4 points for the Raptors.

An NCAA legend best known for his mustache, Timme doesn’t necessarily look the part of an NBA player. However, he showed with the Nets in 2024-25 that he can hang at the highest level. He averaged 12.1 points and 7.2 rebounds in nine games with the team.

Plowden made his NBA debut last season as a 26-year-old and scored 19 points in his first game. He's an effective scorer from multiple levels who knows his role.

Brea is one of the best shooters in the world already. He made 317 threes in his five collegiate seasons, shooting 43.4% on 4.9 attempts a game. TWT and BMB named him as the best shooter on a two-way contract for the upcoming season.

He’s a raw prospect, but Livingston has intriguing tools physically and skill-wise. The 22-year-old hasn’t had much opportunity in the NBA so far in his career, making him a blank slate a team can play around with. He averaged 1.3 points during his two seasons with the Bucks.

Chomche is one of the rawest and youngest players in the league, but his potential is off the charts. The Cameroon native has an enticing package of starter tools and could become a force in a few years. TWT and BMB named him the two-way prospect with the highest potential in the league.

Klintman was the 37th pick in the 2024 NBA draft. A tough-nosed defender with some ball skills, he still has plenty of unexplored upside.

Mashack is a fantastic perimeter defender, one of the best the 2025 draft class has to offer. He made an SEC All-Defensive team as a senior while averaging 1.7 steals. The guard will need to add a consistent jumper to reach his ceiling as an NBA role player.

Ingram is a smart, versatile forward who can contribute to winning across the board. He’s willing to work hard, do the dirty work, and make the extra pass, making him an ideal prospect for San Antonio’s culture.

Despite being drafted in 2023, Jones has bounced around three teams already in his young career. He averaged 8.7 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.5 assists, and 1.3 steals in his stint with Washington last season, but was traded to and waived by the Thunder this offseason.

Peter was a surprise pick in the 2025 draft as a bench player from a small school who was barely on mainstream draft radars. However, he profiles to be a quality NBA role player with his shooting, athleticism, and overall versatility.

Chandler was highly regarded as a second-round pick back in 2022, but he fizzled out of the league quickly. The NBA is unkind to small guards like him. However, his killer G League play will keep him on radars as long as he keeps it up.

Coming out of Duke, Keels was a solid guard prospect, but he hasn’t made any mark at the NBA level yet. Playing for Tom Thibodeau as a rookie certainly didn’t help him find his footing.

Williams was one of the Big 10’s best scorers for multiple years at Nebraska, and he averaged 20.4 points as a senior. Even when his volume goes down in the NBA, his lethal shooting should allow him to find a role.

A 2023 second-round pick, Slawson played just one NBA season before entering the G League fray. The Furman product is a below-average athlete but makes up for it with feel and finesse.

There’s always room for a lights-out shooter with solid positional size in NBA rotations. Jones showed in college and Summer League that he’s liable to get on a heater at any time. He could be a dangerous weapon playing next to Jokic.

Austin is a stat-sheet stuffer. In his senior year at Pitt, he averaged 9.2 points, 4.7 rebounds, shot 38.1% from three and, most impressively, blocked 1.6 shots a game as a 6’5” wing. He’s been a big contributor for the OKC Blue as an undrafted rookie.

Castleton is a versatile big who can play the four and the five spot. He spaces the floor, makes plays inside and dishes out some slick passes. The Florida product averaged 4.7 points and 4.7 rebounds last season while splitting time between the Grizzlies, Raptors and 76ers.

Akins had a solid career at Michigan State, earning both an All-Big Ten and Big Ten All-Defense nod. He’s a competitive defender and slasher who just needs to find more consistent results with his pretty jumper.

Johnson is an athletic defensive-minded four man. He was a key bench piece for Auburn’s 2025 Final Four team and has been performing well for the Cleveland Charge this season as an undrafted rookie.

Traditional backup point guards like Tyus Jones and Monte Morris have made their way in the NBA by rarely turning the ball over and knocking down pullup jumpers. Pullin does those things and separates himself from the crowd with his above-average height for a guard (6’4”). The Florida product averaged 15.0 points in the G League as a rookie.

Mintz is an explosive downhill guard who can fill up the scoring column in a jiffy. He averaged 18.4 points and 5.0 assists in the G League as a rookie after surprisingly not landing on an NBA team out of college.

Angel Reese’s brother is an effective interior finisher and rebounder with no outside shot, making him more of an undersized five man. Reese averaged 13.3 points and 9.0 rebounds as a senior at Maryland.

Edwards has the floor of a capable third-string big with his solid rebounding, rim protection, and interior finishing abilities. He fits in, but what can he do to stand out?

In a year and some change with the Celtics, Peterson showed the makings of a useful stretch forward. He shot 42.1% from deep in 28 games with the team. In the G League in 2024-25, he averaged 17.4 points.

Alexander is a crafty guard who can oscillate between being a lead playmaker and an on-ball scorer. He played a limited role for the Nuggets as a rookie, averaging 1.3 points in 4.9 minutes a night.

After going undrafted in 2022, Pereira worked on his game overseas and in the G League before finally earning a call-up to the NBA in 2023-24. For the Grizzlies that year, he averaged 6.9 points, 5.3 rebounds, 0.9 steals, and shot 38.5% from deep, displaying impressive versatility.

Bacot had a phenomenal collegiate career at North Carolina, but he hasn’t had a chance to prove himself at the NBA level since going undrafted in 2024. He averaged 16.8 points and 9.5 rebounds in the G League in 2024-25, and more strong minor league play this year should be enough to finally earn him a look.

An energetic big man with good finishing touch inside, Olbrich is an intriguing prospect coming from the land down under. He averaged 8.9 points on 61.9% shooting during his pre-draft season in the NBL.

The 43rd pick of the 2024 draft, Djurisic has captured the intrigue of scouts with his versatile perimeter game. He averaged 10.2 points and 3.4 assists as a rookie in the G League after the Hawks opted to stash him down there instead of giving him an NBA deal from the jump.

An athletic, versatile wing, Bates would be a crisp fit in any system. The Missouri product averaged 13.3 points as a senior while leading the entire nation in FT% at 94.6%.

Bernard made his NBA debut in 2023-24 for the Wizards, where he averaged 3.9 points and shot 37.9% from three in 19 games. He has the dribble-pass-shoot skillset on the wing that teams covet.

Poulakidas is a true sharpshooter who can hit any type of shot with his trusty lefty stroke. He’s a smart guy, too— a Yale graduate.

Wong is a certified bucket and a pull-up threat from everywhere on the floor. He totaled 6.0 points a night and shot 39.4% from deep for the Hornets in 2024-25 before he was surprisingly waived.

While a lot of blame can be put on Washington for fumbling his development, Davis is unfortunately one of the biggest busts of the modern era. However, it’s tough to say he doesn’t still have some untapped potential in him. The Wisconsin product averaged 13.4 points and 2.1 assists for the Westchester Knicks last season.

Watson is a jack-of-all-trades forward who could contribute to an NBA rotation in a variety of ways. He averaged 12.1 points in the G League last season as a rookie and appeared in nine games for the Knicks.

Davis, a college legend from UNC, is the definition of a walking bucket. He brought his elite scoring ability to preseason for the Lakers, showing he’s a true professional at his craft.

Bridges is a rangy 3&D forward, somewhat similar to Mikal Bridges, although the two aren’t related, believe it or not. The Baylor product spent his rookie year on a two-way with the Suns in 2024-25, but only played 30 total minutes.

Toppin is most recognized for being a former dunk contest participant, but he has the skillset to be a very useful role player. He’s super athletic and versatile and could play a similar role to his brother Obi. Toppin scored 17 points in his single appearance for the Hawks last season. He was named the best athlete on a two-way contract by TWT and BMB.

One of the more unheralded undrafted free agents from the 2025 class, Lakhin was on OKC’s Summer League roster but couldn’t suit up due to a foot injury. He averaged 11.4 points, 6.4 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks as a senior at Clemson while shooting 37.5% from three, a statline that demonstrates his ability to impact the game in multiple aspects.

Thompson is one of the best wings the G League has to offer. He averaged 17.8 points in 2024-25 and made an All-G League team in 2023-24 after posting 22.9 points a night. Now, with the Pacers, he's finally getting a chance to show what he can do at the highest level.

Despite being on a two-way contract with the Bucks in 2023-24, Galloway has never appeared in an NBA game, but that may change soon. The springy wing has been cooking in international play, and is already a much better player than he was when he was with Milwaukee.

Never forget: Emoni Bates was once considered the next Kevin Durant-esque superstar. He’s far from that today, but he’s still a talented microwave scorer with plenty of potential in the tank.

Omier plays way bigger than his 6’7” listed height. He’s a phenomenal rebounder— he averaged 10.8 boards as a senior at Baylor.

Newton’s rookie year in the NBA was a modest one— he averaged 0.4 points on 12.5% shooting in 2024-25 with the Pacers and Wolves. The 2024 NCAA Tournament Most Outstanding Player has been much more impactful in the G League so far.

Burton has been a surprise stud in the G League this season, breaking out as a top option for the Memphis Hustle. He’s a strong face-up forward who rebounds the ball very well.

The way Buie plays and handles himself on the court screams professional. Northwestern’s GOAT never folds under pressure, dissecting defenses with his stellar playmaking and scoring. He averaged 11.1 points in the G League last season.

Flowers is an unmolded ball of clay, and the right hands could turn him into an awesome role player. The 20-year-old only scored 11 points as a rookie, with nine of them coming in his debut, but he averaged an efficient 17.7 in the G League.

Dennis is a dynamic athlete in the backcourt with a fearless attitude. He played four games for the Mavericks back in 2023-24, scoring a career-high 18 points against the Rockets on December 22nd, 2023.

Hawkins is a modern power forward who can shoot, pass, and wear multiple hats on defense. He could have heard his name called in the 2024 draft, but opted to stay in college one more year for NIL purposes and ended up going undrafted.

Dribble-pass-shoot role players are at a premium in today’s NBA, and those are the talents Sims possesses. He’s the all-time leading scorer for Charlotte’s G League affiliate, the Swarm.

Lewis was a victim of the Lakers’ poor player development system, barely sniffing the court in one-and-a-half seasons with the team after being drafted there in 2023. He was traded to the Nets last season and averaged 5.3 points on 38.0% from three.

Alabama superstar Mark Sears will face an uphill battle in the NBA considering his height, but he has all the talent to be a successful underdog story. He made two All-American teams during his time in college.

Sallis, who was a near-consensus second-round pick, surprisingly fell out of the 2025 draft entirely. He averaged 6.1 points and 3.3 rebounds for the 76ers in Summer League.

Cryer proved himself to be two things in college: a bucket and a winner. The 2021 National Champion has the drive and game to make it as a pro, but his height may hold him back.

Baugh played nearly two full G League seasons before earning his first call-up to the big leagues. The scrappy guard averaged 7.3 points and 3.7 assists in 15 games for the Hornets last season. He scored 16 points in his NBA debut on February 12th, 2025.

The legendary Eric Collins once exclaimed, “I love Leaky!”, and who can blame him? Black, who was the ultimate winning role player in college, provides the skillset that NBA teams covet from supporting forwards.

One of the engines of the 2025 St. John’s squad, Richmond plays with a lot of heart and toughness. The dogged defender leaves some to be desired as a shooter, though.

When he was with the Warriors, Quinones drew comparisons to then-teammate Jordan Poole because of his microwave scoring ability. The New York native can get hot in a jiffy, especially from beyond the arc. He averaged career-highs in points (6.6) and assists (1.8) while splitting time between the 76ers and the Pelicans last season.

Hepburn is small but mighty. He was one of the best guard defenders in college basketball as a senior with Louisville, and he’s made for the moment when it comes to clutch time. The former Wisconsin Badger went for an impressive 22-point outing against Creighton in the 2025 NCAA tournament and averaged 16.4 points on the year overall.

Enaruna was one of the more under-the-radar Summer League standouts for Cleveland in July. The stocky forward averaged 11.0 points in the G in 2024-25 and has been putting on an even stronger performance this year.

One of the top undrafted prospects from the 2024 class, Minix is a versatile, dependable, and confident role player. He averaged 19.3 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 2.1 assists on 53/42/85 splits in the G League last season.

Once a hyped-up prospect at Auburn, Cooper has slipped out of people’s minds. He was drafted 48th overall but played sparingly in just one NBA season before falling out of the league. The little guard spent 2024-25 with three different international clubs, averaging 12.2 points and 3.6 assists.

Miller is cut from the same cloth as Josh Okogie. He’s a relentless hustler who makes an impact defensively and on the glass. The TCU product shot just 31.3% from three as a rookie in the G League, though, and some more consistency from deep from him would go a long way.

The 2024-25 UC-San Diego Tritons were a popular upset pick in the NCAA tournament, and Gray was one of the engines that made them go. He led the Big West in steals per game as a senior with 3.1 while shooting 41.8% from deep.

A true game manager of a point guard, Dennis can be trusted to run a bench unit. The Baylor product delivered multiple rock-solid performances for the undermanned Pacers early in the 2025-26 season.

Many Kings fans clamored for Crawford to get more minutes as a rookie, but they never got what they wanted, and now he’s gone. The Louisiana Tech product is now in Houston where his strong 3&D chops could allow him to flourish in the team’s system.

Poplar is a wiry energetic wing who can scorch nets from outside. He averaged 15.3 points and 7.0 rebounds while shooting 38.7% from three as a senior at Villanova.

Garcia worked hard on his game through five college seasons to become a legitimate professional prospect. As a senior at Minnesota, the skilled forward averaged an efficient 19.2 points, but he didn’t hear his name called on 2025 draft night.

Cleveland won’t wow you in any one area, but he’s solid across the board. The versatile wing is off to a solid start in the G League, averaging 15.1 points and 10.3 rebounds through his first 10 games with the Texas Legends.

Yes, there’s a third Jaylin Williams. This one is a rugged power forward/small-ball five who averaged 8.7 points on 53/40/80 splits as a rookie in the G League.

Norris had a cup of coffee with the Celtics last season, marking his NBA debut. The 6’7” power forward is an impressive shooter for his size.

The older brother of NBA All-Star Evan Mobley is a talented player in his own right. Isaiah is a skilled post hub with a strong face-up game who could go for a triple-double on any night.

The leader of the 2021 Cinderella Ohio Bobcats squad is as heady as it gets at the point guard position. Preston was drafted 33rd overall in 2021 and averaged 2.5 points and 2.0 assists in two NBA campaigns.

Gueye is one of the best non-center shot blockers in the world. He swatted 1.6 shots in just 10.9 minutes a game in his lone NBA season with the Raptors in 2023-24.

Lofton is something of a cult favorite amongst sicko fans. The big fella has had some standout moments in the league, including a 42-point game as a rookie, but his unique bruiser archetype makes him a tough sell when it comes to a rotation role.

Sandfort can fly off screens and knock down triples with the best of them. He had a solid collegiate career at Iowa, averaging 16.7 points in his senior season.

Wood might not look like an NBA player, but he shoots like one. He shot 39.2% from deep as a rookie with the Valley Suns in 2024-25.

Primo, a surprise lottery choice in 2021, saw his career come crashing down around him after an indecent exposure incident. Teams have sniffed around him a little since then, but he may have the “cheese touch” at this point.

Badji is flat-out one of the best shot blockers in basketball. In 2023-24 with the Trail Blazers, he posted a 8.0 BLK%, which would have been second in the entire league had he played enough minutes to qualify. Outside of interior defense, though, he’s a pretty limited traditional big.

A fearless shot maker and competitor, Pedulla makes up for his small frame with heart. He averaged 15.4 points and shot 39.2% from three in his senior year at Ole Miss.

Hinton hustles hard, a trait he developed during his collegiate career at Houston. He’s an exceptional rebounder for his size and he defends too. Hinton has played three NBA seasons with the Mavericks, Pacers and Rockets.

Pierre is a toolsy wing with the ever-coveted dribble-pass-shoot skillset. He posted 13.8 points and 3.5 assists a night as a senior at Belmont.

Obaseki’s stats don’t really stand out (6.5 PPG and 1.2 APG as a senior at Texas A&M), but his highlights do. The lefty guard is shifty and sneaky athletic and he works hard on defense.

A skilled, versatile forward, Martin played 16 games with the Nets and Wizards in 2024-25 and averaged 4.9 points. The Overtime Elite product is currently in the G trying to get another shot in the big leagues.

Steward went undrafted out of Duke in 2021 and spent several years getting buckets in the G League. He was on a two-way contract with the Bulls for part of 2024-25 but never played a game.

Smart has bounced around the NBA, suiting up for the Bucks, Heat and 76ers. He’s made multiple FIBA appearances for Team USA and made the 2025 All-AmeriCup team.

Beekman is a dogged POA defender who can pressure the rim. His shot isn’t trusty, but his decision-making is. The Milwaukee native averaged 2.6 points and 1.8 assists as a rookie with Golden State and Brooklyn.

Ducas spent one year in the NBA before returning to his homeland, Australia, to play in the NBL. With the Thunder as a rookie, he shot 47.6% from three in limited minutes.

Settle was a 2025 draft class sleeper. The rangy forward averaged 12.6 points and shot 41.6% from three as a senior at Temple.

Gray has played four career NBA games, and all of them were meaningless April matchups. In those games, though, he averaged an efficient 9.8 points, 4.0 rebounds and 3.3 assists. The former 59th overall pick is a versatile threat in the frontcourt.

Robbins came out of Vanderbilt in 2023 as a polished stretch five. He averaged 0.7 points for the Bucks in 2024-25.

Almansa was once a top prospect in his class, but he couldn’t quite maintain the hype and ended up going undrafted in June. Now, he’ll have to work hard to show the world his talent once again.

The towering Kelley is one of the G League’s top shot blockers. He made his NBA debut in 2024-25, averaging 3.1 points and 3.5 rebounds while splitting time between the Mavs and the Pelicans.

McVeigh is a star in Australia's NBL, holding All-NBL and Finals MVP honors in his trophy case. The steady shooter came to the NBA for a season in 2024-25 and averaged 1.6 points in a limited role.

Sharp is a giant of a man who uses his size to make a meaningful impact, especially as a shot blocker (3.2 blocks per game as a rookie in the G League). His offensive game is limited, but that could be hidden in a minimized role.

Terq Smith is a flat-out bucket. He averaged 3.3 points in 5.3 minutes per game as a rookie in 2023-24, averaging out to 20 points per 75 possessions.

Wigginton spent three years with the Bucks, averaging 4.7 points a night. He’s gone on to tear up the CBA in China as a 20 PPG lead guard.

Luis had an All-American college career, averaging 18.2 points for a formidable St. John’s team as a senior. He somewhat surprisingly went undrafted in 2025 and has yet to play any professional ball due to injury.

Lundy’s 3&D chops are NBA-caliber. He’s had a tough break with injuries, though, and hasn’t played basketball since his rookie year in 2023-24.

Robinson had some electric moments in his college career with BYU and Kentucky. The lanky wing averaged 13.0 points and shot 37.6% from deep in his pre-draft season.

Gortman has had some nice moments in the G League and past Summer Leagues as an on-ball microwave scorer. He played 16 games in the big leagues with the Mavericks last season, averaging 1.5 points and shooting 36.4% from three.

A championship-seasoned big man, Johnson knows how to contribute to winning in an established role. He was a highly effective play finisher at UConn, shooting 72.8% from the field during his four years there.

Cameron Matthews will lock you up. He’s a defensive force who can switch across positions and rack up stocks. He’s not much of a scorer, though, which limits his ceiling.
