Sixty names were called and none of them were Kentucky’s Alex Poythress.
Poythress will now wait by the phone for teams to offer him an undrafted free agent contract and try to earn his way onto a team playing in the NBA Summer League.
Coach Cal is still confident that Poythress will work his way onto a team.
Although Alex didn’t get drafted, I’m proud of the position he’s put himself in after what he went through a year a half ago.

I’m confident Alex will get a contract just like Aaron Harrison last season.

It didn’t take long for Poythress to find a Summer League team to play for:
Kentucky's Alex Poythress (undrafted) will play for the Orlando Magic in the Orlando Summer League, sources tell DX.

Good luck Alex!
