The Kansas basketball program had four undrafted players at this year’s NBA Draft – Perry Ellis, Wayne Selden, Brannen Greene, and Jamari Traylor.
So far, only Perry Ellis has signed with a summer league team, as he has signed a deal to play for the Dallas Mavericks. There has been no word yet on offers for summer league play to either Jamari Traylor or Brannen Greene.
Both Greene and Traylor worked out for multiple NBA teams prior to the draft, but it seems at this point that both could miss out on making summer league rosters. The first round of summer league play starts in Orlando this weekend on July 2nd.
Wayne Selden, on the other hand, reportedly has multiple offers that he’s considering. According to Alex Kennedy at BasketballInsiders.com, Selden had multiple offers on draft night and now has multiple options for Summer League play.
For those of you asking about Wayne Selden Jr. and SL, he's weighing options. He turned down draft-and-stash opportunities on draft night.

Selden worked out for Charlotte, Chicago, Houston, the Los Angeles Lakers, Milwaukee, New Orleans, New York, and San Antonio prior to the draft.

With Summer League starting this weekend, we expect we’ll hear where he is headed within the next few days. Hopefully Greene and Traylor can find Summer League spots as well, although only the former seems likely to get a chance with an NBA team.
Perry Ellis’ first game is the very first game of the Orlando Summer League on Saturday at 9am (ET). You can find the full schedule for the Orlando Summer League here.
