2020 NBA Draft – Best Undrafted Players

The 2020 NBA Draft is two rounds and consists of just 60 picks, so not every good college basketball player will hear his name called. Many NBA teams opt to select players with a higher upside and some of those picks are foreign players they wish to just stash overseas.

There are still some very good players left to sign, but due to the pandemic, there is no Summer League to prove they belong in the league. Also, it’s unknown what sort of Gatorade League will happen for the 2020-21 season. This group of undrafted players will have some unique obstacles in their way.

Guys like Alex Caruso and Quinn Cook won an NBA title this year and they went undrafted in their respective draft classes.

This is not the end of the road for these players. There are many undrafted players in the NBA, so a few of these guys will still make their dreams come true in the future.

Here are the best undrafted players not selected in the 2020 NBA Draft.
