Although the 2024 NBA Draft came to and end on Thursday evening and 58 players had been selected by teams around the league, more decisions had to be made on incoming rookies. The undrafted free agent market is extremely important to capitalize on, as the modern game has seen several very impactful players become huge pieces on teams despite not going in either round of the draft. 

Before teams completely switched gears and looked ahead to free agency on Sunday and continued discussion on the trade market, they first looked to sign these undrafted free agents to contracts — whether that be a two-way deal or just a summer league pact. 

Especially in what was a deep UDFA class, which prospects have the best chance of making it in the NBA, and where did they sign contracts following the draft?

Isaiah Crawford (Louisiana Tech) | Sacramento Kings

Justin Edwards (Kentucky) | Philadelphia 76ers

Keshad Johnson (Arizona) | Miami Hea

Reece Beekman (Virginia) | Golden State Warriors

Jalen Bridges (Baylor) | Phoenix Suns

Trentyn Flowers (NBL) | LA Clippers

Trey Alexander (Creighton) | Denver Nuggets

Isaac Jones (Washington State) | Sacramento Kings
