Six second-rounders from the 2025 NBA draft remain unsigned as training camps approach. Draft-and-stash or two-way contracts loom for these rookies: Bogoljub Marković to Mega Basket on a draft-and-stash path (Bucks), Mohamed Diawara and Alex Toohey eye two-way deals with the Knicks and Warriors, Will Richard also positioned for a Warriors two-way, Saliou Niang heads to Virtus Bologna, and Jahmai Mashack is in line for a Grizzlies two-way.

Rosters will soon settle at camps; some rooks will stay overseas, others will latch onto two-way slots, while teams juggle Kuminga and other restricted assets. The moves could quietly reshape fantasy watchlists as these players’ paths diverge before the season starts.

The New York Knicks aim to bolster their roster after entering the 2025 NBA Draft with limited picks, trading their second-round spot (No. 50) to the Los Angeles Clippers for the 51st pick, selecting Mohamed Diawara, a promising French forward. Diawara, 20, has experience with the French national team and averaged 5.8 points in 27 games last season. As the Knicks look to fill their head coaching vacancy and address needs for a backup point guard, three-point shooting, and bench size, Diawara's performance in the Summer League will be pivotal.

With roster decisions looming, the Knicks are positioned above the first apron in salary commitments, complicating their offseason strategy. Key players, including Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns, are on guaranteed contracts, while several others are at critical contract junctures. The franchise's future hinges on effectively leveraging this draft selection and optimizing their current roster.
