Some of the top basketball players that ended up undrafted include:
- Centers Kevin Pittsnogle and Justin Williams;
- Power forwards Taj Gray, Kenny Adeleke, Terrance Dials and Louis Amundson;
- Small Forwards Marcus Slaughter, Brandon Bowman and Mike Hall;
- Shooting guards Mike Gansey, Curtis Stinson and Allan Ray;
- Point guards Darius Washington, Juan Jose Barea and A.J. Price.
Any hints/rumors/news out there about their eventual landing spots?

Jesus, it's not the end!
Ben Wallace wasn't drafted! Gilbert Arenas was taken in the second round, as was that guy from Milwaukee, damn, I forgot his name.
Many will have the chance to have decent careers in the NBA. Many of the other bastards get drafted because of the hype, and not because they can really perform when it matters. Darko...wow, what a mistake. I doubt he'd survive on most high school teams. The draft doesn't really say much about actual ability.
Be optimistic.

Most will play in the NBA summer league, and many will go to Europe. A few like Allan Ray, Pittsnogle, Taquan Dean, Mike Gansey, etc. will get shots in the NBA. The others will try to make it in Europe for a return to the NBA in 2-5 years

If they 're lucky, they can sign in the NBA as a free agent or maybe play in Leagues in Europe that are of quality and pay well. But for the most part, their playing days are over. Let's hope that they took advantage of their free education if not, their future may be bleak.

FREE AGENCY OF COURSE. I can see Kevin Pittsnogle, Justin Williams, and Taj Gray getting picked up relatively soon.

Working at your local Walmart, so if you see them challenge them to a game of basketball, you will make their day and if you really feel sorry for them let them win.
Good luck!!!
Seriously, there is a developmental league, a lot of the players end up playing there and the rest run to europe, develop their game and try make another run at the NBA through free-agency.
:D

Pittsnogle has been picked up by the Mavericks. I'm surprised that Allan Ray wasn't drafted but I wouldn't be surprised if he has already been picked up.

Some could sign with NBA teams still as free agents but that is why they went to college. (they got degrees and they will do whatever they got there degree in)
