The 2026 NBA G League Draft was held on Saturday, October 24, with teams adding players to their rosters ahead of the upcoming season. Former top-10 NBA draft pick Jeremy Sochan was taken No. 1 overall by the Texas Legends, the G League affiliate of the Dallas Mavericks. The following four picks were all players who went undrafted in the 2026 NBA Draft.
Isaiah Carr, Motor City Cruise (No. 2)
Carr, a 7-foot, 235-pound center, averaged 3.7 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks in 11.8 minutes per game over 32 appearances (two starts) as a senior at Drake, shooting 55.8% from the field. Despite not being a regular starter, his size and defensive potential make him an intriguing addition for the Cruise. He joins second-round pick Ugonna Onyenso as rookie centers in the Detroit Pistons' organization.
Kasean Pryor, Osceola Magic (No. 3)
Pryor, listed at 6-foot-10 and 230 pounds, averaged 2.2 points and 1.8 rebounds in 6.4 minutes per game for Louisville in 2025-26 after appearing in just seven games during the 2024-25 season. However, in 2023-24 at South Florida, he averaged 13 points, 7.9 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and 1.2 steals while shooting 44.7% from the field and 35.2% from 3-point range. Pryor spent two seasons at Boise State, one year at Northwest Florida State College, and one season at South Florida before finishing his college career with two years at Louisville.
Chris Bell, Grand Rapids Gold (No. 4)
Bell was selected No. 4 overall after averaging 14.2 points and 2.6 rebounds while shooting 45.9% from the field and 40% from beyond the arc on 5.6 attempts per game as a senior at California. Listed at 6-foot-7 and 195 pounds, his size and perimeter shooting ability could make him an interesting addition to the Denver Nuggets' organization. Those attributes are valuable traits for wing players in the NBA, giving Bell a chance to make an NBA roster down the road.
Jailen Bedford, Oklahoma City Blue (No. 5)
Bedford was picked No. 5 overall by the Oklahoma City Blue following a five-year college career that included stops at Trinidad State College, Oral Roberts, UNLV, and Virginia Tech. In 2025-26 with the Hokies, the 6-foot-4, 190-pound guard averaged 11.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 1.3 assists per game while shooting 40.1% from the field and 35.9% from deep.
Key Analysis
The 2026 G League Draft highlighted a mix of experienced and developmental prospects. Sochan, a former top-10 NBA pick, headlines the class, while the four undrafted rookies selected immediately after him each bring unique skill sets and physical tools that could translate to NBA roles. Carr's defensive upside, Pryor's versatility, Bell's shooting, and Bedford's scoring ability make them players to watch as they begin their professional careers.
