The 2024 NBA draft has come and gone, but the draft cycle continues as several undrafted free agents find their new homes.
Plenty of prospects didn’t get to hear their name called by the commissioner at Barclays Center on Wednesday or the deputy commissioner at ESPN Seaport Studios on Thursday. But their path to the pros is far from over, especially considering like in previous years, it’s very possible for an undrafted free agent to carve out a role for themselves in the NBA.
We have seen former undrafted free agents like Fred VanVleet and Austin Reaves have valuable roles for their team despite not hearing their names called in the draft.
Now this season, notable prospects such as Kentucky’s Justin Edwards and Arizona’s Keshad Johnson will join the fraternity of undrafted basketball players who hope to still make a name for themselves in the NBA. Our ranking is based on a consensus big board from Rookie Scale.
Here is where the best remaining prospects have landed so far, according to various reports:
