Five 2026 draftees find homes, six still unsigned entering camp
Boston's Dillon Mitchell, Indiana's Braden Smith and Denver's Bryce Hopkins have all signed two-way deals, while Knicks pick Jack Kayil stayed in Germany with ALBA Berlin and Bucks pick Malique Lewis signed overseas with Cairns.
That leaves six second-rounders unsigned per Hoops Rumors' tracker: Richie Saunders (Memphis), Tyler Nickel (New York), Lajae Jones (Golden State), Vsevolod Ishchenko (Dallas), Narcisse Ngoy (LA Clippers) and Trey Kaufman-Renn (Minnesota).
Ngoy appears headed to Auburn as a draft-and-stash, Saunders is still recovering from an ACL tear and could land on a two-way deal, and Nickel's camp has given conflicting signals about returning to Vanderbilt versus joining the Knicks.
