2026 NBA G League Draft Results

According to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype (Twitter link), Sochan plans to join the Legends this fall in an effort to make his way back to the NBA. The 23-year-old forward was waived by Portland last week after spending training camp and the preseason on an Exhibit 9 contract with the Trail Blazers.

Drafting Sochan to Texas won’t prevent another NBA team from poaching him, since holding a player’s G League rights doesn’t mean you control his NBA rights. But it will give the Mavericks a chance to take a first-hand look at him before determining whether they want to sign him to a standard contract — Sochan is no longer eligible for a two-way deal since he has four years of NBA service.

Sochan was the ninth overall pick in the 2022 NBA draft and spent his first three-and-a-half years with the Spurs. The 6’8″ forward averaged at least 11 points per game in each of his first three seasons as San Antonio experimented with his role, deploying him for stretches as a point guard or a small-ball center.

However, Sochan fell out of the regular rotation during his fourth year in 2025/26 and was granted his release after the trade deadline, allowing him to sign with the Knicks. He didn’t play much in New York either, averaging just 6.9 minutes per game in 16 regular season appearances and 3.3 MPG in eight postseason outings, but he won his first NBA championship when his new team beat his old team in the NBA Finals.

In 228 total regular season games, Sochan has averaged 9.9 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 2.5 assists per contest, with a shooting line of .470/.286/.725.

As Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca tweets, the top pick changed hands four times leading up to the draft and there were a total of 77 trades involving the 31 first-round selections heading into Saturday.

Teams will fill out their rosters with affiliate players, returning rights players, tryout players, and players who are assigned to the G League from the NBA roster (including those on two-way contracts).

G League training camps open on Monday, with this year’s NBAGL Tip-Off Tournament getting underway on November 8. The Tip-Off Tournament will be played over about a month-and-a-half and will be followed by the G League regular season, which begins at the Winter Showcase in December.
