As the final pick is announced, the journey is only just beginning for these 59 athletes. For first-rounders, the near future involves guaranteed contracts and a spotlight in the NBA Summer League, as well as their first test in a professional system. The path for second-round selections is often more precarious. This is due to a battle in training camp to secure a full roster spot or a two-way contract that will see them split time with the G League.
Meanwhile, for the dozens of hopefuls who went undrafted, the night ends not with a team hat, but with a flurry of phone calls as their agents hustle to land them a non-guaranteed training camp invite or a two-way deal—proving that for many, the dream of an NBA career truly starts after the draft is over.
