Top Undrafted Free Agent Targets in the 2026 NBA Draft Class

The 2026 NBA Draft is on the horizon, and there have been plenty of rumors and speculation around what will happen in the first round of this year's class.

From reporting around who will be the top pick, to teams that are looking to trade into the lottery, June 23 could feature an eventful first round. The second round, slated for June 24, will also include a number of notable players who have made names for themselves in college basketball over the past few years.

Even after all 60 selections, though, the action will continue. As in every draft class, teams will sign undrafted free agents to fill out their Summer League rosters and add to G League teams.

In recent years, players like Austin Reaves, Julian Champagnie and Lu Dort, among others, have all earned starting roles for playoff teams after going undrafted.
