The Oklahoma City Thunder have reportedly picked up Zack Austin, a forward from the University of Pittsburgh, as an undrafted free agent. It’s a low-risk move that gives the Thunder another young player to develop—a classic "let’s see what sticks" approach for a team always hunting hidden talent.

Editor’s Note: For Thunder fans, this is another small but interesting move in their never-ending quest to uncover diamonds in the rough. Austin didn’t hear his name called in the draft, but OKC’s track record with undrafted players (hello, Lu Dort) means there’s at least a flicker of hope he could turn into something useful. For Austin, it’s a shot at proving himself—no guarantees, but a foot in the door.

The Oklahoma City Thunder have reportedly added undrafted free agent Chris Youngblood, a standout from Alabama, to their roster. It’s a low-risk move that could pay off if Youngblood brings his college hustle to the NBA.

Editor’s Note: The Thunder are known for smart, under-the-radar signings, and Youngblood fits that mold. While undrafted players are long shots, OKC’s player development has turned unknowns into contributors before. For fans, it’s a fun "wait and see" addition—could he be the next diamond in the rough?

The Portland Trail Blazers are taking a chance on Caleb Love, a talented guard from Arizona who surprisingly went undrafted. They’ve signed him to a two-way contract, giving him a shot to prove himself in the NBA after a standout college career where he was named Pac-12 Player of the Year.

Editor’s Note: Love was a big name in college basketball, so his going undrafted raised eyebrows. The Blazers’ move is a low-risk, high-reward play—if he pans out, they’ve snagged a steal. For Love, it’s a chance to silence doubters and carve out a role in the league. Fans will be watching to see if he can translate his college success to the pros.
