Illinois’ Kylan Boswell was not selected in the second round of NBA Draft, despite being in some projections.
Boswell will likely sign a free agent deal with a team and look to play well in a Summer league to earn a roster spot in an organization.
Experts like his on-ball defense and driving, but want better three point shooting. At Arizona, he was a 38 percent three-point shooter. At Illinois he was sub-30%.
Boswell was a two year starter at Illinois, helping them win 20-plus games each year and make the Final Four in 2026.
Ben Humrichous signed an undrafted free agent deal with the Brooklyn Nets.
After Brad Underwood joked that Humrichous couldn’t guard a dead man and probably would give up “20 points” to Tom Izzo’s 99 year old mother, his defense improved a lot in 2026, and he can space the floor from the three point line.
Humrichous joined Illinois after NAIA and playing at Evansville, and accepted a non-starter role in 2026
