Top 3 college teams with zero picks in the 2025 NBA Draft

#1 Missouri Tigers

Missouri had two players listed as "prospects" for the NBA draft: Caleb Grill and Tamar Bates. However, no team picked them in the two-day event.

Nevertheless, there was good news for Bates and Grill shortly after the selections were over. Bates signed a two-way contract with the Denver Nuggets, per Tony Jones of The Athletic, while Grill went to the Chicago Bulls after also signing a two-way deal.

Bates joins Nikola Jokic, Michael Porter Jr and former Kansas Jayhawk Christian Braun. Grill, on the other hand, will team up with Coby White and Josh Giddey under the guidance of former national champion coach Billy Donovan.

#2 Louisville Cardinals

Louisville coach Pat Kelsey had zero players selected in this year's NBA draft. However, Chucky Hepburn, Reyne Smith and Terrence Edwards Jr signed free-agent deals.

According to reports, Hepburn agreed to a two-way contract with the Toronto Raptors while Edwards and Smith were picked up by the Milwaukee Bucks and the Denver Nuggets, respectively.

Edwards and Smith have agreed to play for the summer league teams of the Bucks and the Nuggets.

#3 St. John's Red Storm

Big East champions St. John's had four players in the 2025 NBA draft, but none were selected. They were Kadary Richmond, RJ Luis Jr, Aaron Scott and Deivon Smith.

Luis, Richmond and Scott were given two-way contracts, as per the NY Post.

Luis, the Big East Player of the Year, signed a two-way deal with the Utah Jazz, while Richmond agreed to a similar arrangement with the Washington Wizards.

Scott, on the other hand, went to the Boston Celtics and is slated to play in the summer league. No team has signed Utah transfer Smith.

#4 Alabama Crimson Tide

None of the four key Alabama Crimson Tide players, Mark Sears, Clifford Omoruyi, Grant Nelson and Chris Youngblood, were selected in this year's NBA draft.

Per Sports Illustrated, this is the second straight year that none of Nate Oats' players were selected. Last year, Aaron Estrada's name wasn't called in the Barclays Center.

The Milwaukee Bucks picked up Sears on a two-way deal while the Brooklyn Nets landed Nelson. On the other hand, Rutgers transfer Omoruyi chalked up a deal with the Toronto Raptors.

Youngblood will have to wait for the next few days to see if he gets called up by NBA teams for a two-way deal.
