The Alabama Crimson Tide did not have a player selected in last week’s NBA Draft despite having several stars seen as at least having a chance to be drafted.
With that being said, despite the disappointment of no player being selected in the two-round draft, all who had a chance wound up signing deals with NBA teams to continue their careers likely for now in the G-League as they try to work their way to the NBA.
The one with the best chance at being selected in legendary guard Mark Sears signed a two-way deal with the Milwaukee Bucks.
It was a minor surprise to see him not selected, however 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 when the summer league begins.
Tide fans certainly have some teams to check in on this summer as four of their guys begin the difficult fight to crack a 12-man NBA roster.
