NBA undrafted free agents: Tracking the notable UDFA signings after 2025 NBA Draft

A total of 59 players had their dreams come true at the 2025 NBA Draft, hearing their name called by either commissioner Adam Silver in the first round or deputy commissioner Mark Tatum in the second round. 

However, not every player who entered into the 2025 draft pool was so lucky. Every year, plenty of talented prospects wind up going undrafted, then sign with a team of their choice as a free agent in the hours and days following the draft.

Of course, some of those undrafted free agents could be on track for long, successful careers anyway. Ben Wallace, Fred VanVleet, Udonis Haslem, John Starks, and Alex Caruso are all among the greatest all-time NBA players who weren't picked in the draft. 

Following all 59 draft selections, Villanova's Eric Dixon, Gonzaga's Ryan Nembhard and Wake Forest's Hunter Sallis were among the biggest names still up for grabs.
