Milos Uzan, Kylan Boswell, and Nick Boyd Among Notable Snubs in 2026 NBA Draft

The dreams of 60  basketball prospects from the college ranks and around the globe  were realized during the 2026  NBA Draft . The two-day event at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn started with the Washington Wizards selecting BYU star AJ Dybantsa with the No. 1 overall pick. It ended with the Milwaukee Bucks selecting Malique Lewis at pick No. 60.

While the first round of the draft went mostly as expected, there were several surprises on Day 2. Among the notable players who weren't selected on Day 1 were Duke's Isaiah Evans, Arkansas' Meleek Thomas and North Carolina's Henri Veesaar. All three players left the college game early to declare for the NBA Draft and would've likely made more money with an NIL payday.

Veesaar slipped all the way to pick No. 52 in one of the more surprising slides of the entire draft.

One of the most notable names not selected was Houston star Milos Uzan, who bypassed the draft last year to return to school for another season. Another name not picked was Kylan Boswell, who was an anchor on Illinois' Final Four roster this past season. He was the highest-ranked player on our  CBS Sports Big Board  who went undrafted.

A handful of this year's snubs have reportedly already signed two-way contracts with NBA franchises shortly after the draft ended. And many of the other undrafted players will get a chance to shine in the NBA's Summer League. Here is a rundown of the top prospects who were left on the board at the end of Wednesday's second round.
