A 2023 undrafted 6-foot-10 wing with the size of a forward but the fluidity of a guard, Valerio-Bodon has a real shot of making the team as a two way player.

Scrubb has potential as a two way shooting guard after three seasons in the league with the Orlando Magic and Los Angeles Clippers, but has yet to settle his jumper despite shooting 39.5% from deep in college.

Justin Bean - forward

Standing at 6-foot-7, the 26-year-old Utah State alum put up 10.2 points and 6.9 rebounds per game while shooting 36.7% from 3 with the Memphis Hustle last season.

Jordan Walsh - wing

Arkansas’ Jordan Walsh shoots the ball during the NCAA men’s basketball tournament first round match-up between Illinois and Arkansas, on Thursday, March 16, 2023, at Wells Fargo Arena, in Des Moines, Iowa.

Boston’s No. 38 pick from this year’s draft, fans will be excited to see how good his defense — and how bad his jumper — are in Sin City.

Kamar Baldwin - guard
