The 2025 NBA Draft might have ended, but the journey is just beginning for five standout college players who’ve secured two-way contracts with NBA franchises.
Alabama’s Mark Sears, a first-team All-American, will join the Milwaukee Bucks, bringing his elite scoring touch and big-game experience to a roster that values offensive versatility. Sears was one of the steadiest guards in the nation and now gets a shot to prove himself at the pro level.
Hunter Sallis of Wake Forest is heading to the Philadelphia 76ers. The athletic guard showed major flashes as a two-way threat this past season and will provide energy, slashing, and perimeter defense off the bench.
Eric Dixon, who led all of college basketball in scoring and shot 41% from deep, joins the Los Angeles Lakers. With a frame built for NBA contact and a stroke that fits today’s game, Dixon could be a sneaky rotation piece down the line.
Chucky Hepburn, the ACC Defensive Player of the Year, lands with the Toronto Raptors, a franchise known for developing gritty, defensive-minded guards. Expect him to be an instant pest on the perimeter and fight for minutes from day one.
Lastly, Caleb Love, Arizona’s high-volume bucket-getter, is set to join the Portland Trail Blazers. While he went undrafted, his scoring prowess is undeniable. Portland could be the perfect place for him to refine his shot selection and unlock his next level.
These undrafted stars might not have heard their names called on draft night, but make no mistake—they’re not done writing their stories.
