Brandon Dwyer NBA Draft videos have social media buzzing about FGCU guard

1 hour ago 3

Brandon Dwyer is a walk-on guard at Florida Gulf Coast University.

There's also a bunch of content on social media about him being a first-round NBA Draft pick.

Wait, what?

Yeah, it's about as odd as you'd think.

Dwyer is a popular personality on his social media channels, and the story has taken on a life of its own:

Road To The NBA…

The reality still makes sense, even if some of the videos are going viral.

Did Brandon Dwyer get drafted?

No, Dwyer didn't get drafted in the first round of the 2026 NBA Draft on Tuesday night, and he won't get picked in the second round, either.

He just averaged 2.0 points per game for FGCU. He's a personable walk-on, and surely he works hard, but he isn't an NBA-level player, or close to it.

He's got a lot of fans, which is cool and makes for an amusing story.

But if you actually expect Dwyer to get drafted, you're going to be disappointed.
