The 2020 NBA Draft is officially a wrap, but the path to find stars of the future is not yet complete. The draft will produce some of the NBA’s biggest stars of tomorrow, but don’t sleep on undrafted free agents. Fred VanVleet serves as a current inspiration to players who fail to get drafted. Over the years, we’ve seen the likes of Ben Wallace, Avery Johnson, John Starks, and plenty more have fantastic NBA careers after a disappointing draft night.
We’ve put together a look at five of the best players available at each position. Some are already signing two-way deals in short order as the 2020-2021 NBA season fast approaches, so we’ll update this as news gets confirmed. It can get wild and wooly in the world of UDFA signings. For these rankings, we’ve used ESPN’s player rankings. Analysts will differ on rankings, but most of these guys will appear across rankings for most outlets.
