Over 450 players suit up every year for an NBA squad. Every athlete’s path is different. Some get drafted in the first round, others go undrafted, and some earn their way from the G-League.
The key is being ready when an opportunity arises. Former Syracuse basketball forward Oshae Brissett is living his NBA dream right now for the Toronto Raptors.
The 2019 undrafted free-agent signed a two-way contract with the squad. The defending champs are one of the most injured teams in the NBA, so this has provided plenty of playing time for younger players.
