The 2019 NBA Draft had quite an SEC flavor, with 12 players drafted from the conference.
Vanderbilt guard Darius Garland was the first SEC player off the board as he went to the Cleveland Cavaliers with the No. 5 pick.
PJ Washington, Tyler Herro, Chuma Okeke, Grant Williams, and Keldon Johnson joined Garland in the first round.
Meanwhile, Nic Claxton, Daniel Gafford, Admiral Schofield, Quinndary Weatherspoon, Tremont Waters, and Jordan Bone were all selected in the second round.
And while there were many other talents from the league that went undrafted, lots of them are already signing two-way contracts or Exhibit 10 contracts while joining summer league rosters.
Here’s the current list of SEC players who have signed, courtesy of NBA.com:
- Brian Bowen (Indiana Pacers)
- Naz Reid (Minnesota Timberwolves)
- Aric Holman (Los Angeles Lakers)
- Jared Harper (Phoenix Suns)
- Simi Shittu (Memphis Grizzlies)
- Kyle Alexander (Miami Heat)
- Bryce Brown (Sacramento Kings)
- Kavell Bigby-Williams (Charlotte Hornets)
- Terence Davis (Denver Nuggets)
- Lamar Peters (New York Knicks)
- Donta Hall (Detroit Pistons)
The NBA Summer League gets started on July 5 in Las Vegas.
