Despite several prospects projected to be drafted, the Alabama Crimson Tide saw no players selected in last week’s NBA Draft.
However, all four potential draftees have signed two-way contracts with NBA teams and will likely begin their careers in the G League as they vie for full roster spots.
The player with the best chance of being selected is legendary guard Mark Sears, who signed a two-way deal with the Milwaukee Bucks.
It was a minor surprise to see him not selected, but he was the only one who had any sort of realistic chance.

Beyond Sears, sharpshooting big man Grant Nelson signed a two-way deal with the Brooklyn Nets and join up with former Alabama star Noah Clowney.
Alabama center Clifford Omoruyi — who spent just one season with the program — wound up heading North of the border for a deal with the Toronto Raptors.
Chris Youngblood, another one-year transfer portal addition for the Tide, ends up with the now defending NBA champion Oklahoma City Thunder.
All four guys will get a chance to prove why they should have been drafted over the next couple of month’s as the summer league begins.
