Top undrafted free agents

Let's look ahead to potential Vegas additions or two-way signings.

At the end of the 2018 NBA Draft, there were still a handful of interesting names available. As always.

We don’t know how the Raptors will have ranked these guys, but this exercise two years ago revealed Fred VanVleet as a potential target of the team ahead of Las Vegas Summer League and last year pointed to Kennedy Meeks, so I’m deeming it worthwhile again. The Raptors, after all, will have Summer League spots to fill, and at least one two-way contract slot could make sense for an undrafted free agent. There are some decent fliers are out there.

Here are the top names still available, based on our weighted composite top-100 rankings:

Note: Alonzo Trier, Malik Newman, and Theo Pinson have already landed with the Knicks, Lakers, and Nets, respectively, per Shams Charania. Gary Clark has landed with the Rockets, per Chris Haynes.

And here’s a look at the list of undrafted players who the Raptors worked out in the pre-draft process. Only one (Kostas Antetokounmpo) was selected, so there are names available the team surely likes.

Will any of these wind up on the roster in Vegas or, like VanVleet, earn a spot with the main team? It’s way too early to figure. The Raptors have done well by undrafted free agents in recent years, have earned a strong reputation for player development, and have a solid situation to offer undrafted free agents. That should give them a leg up landing the players they like over the next two weeks, even if there’s not a clear path to NBA playing time just yet.
