Since the lockout has wiped out the Las Vegas Summer League and threatens to do the same to training camp, undrafted free agents likely won't have as many opportunities to make an NBA roster this fall.
As a result, many top undrafted collegiate stars have already signed with overseas pro teams rather than even attempt to make an NBA roster. Here's a look at where some of the top undrafted standouts will be playing next season:
Malcolm Thomas, F, San Diego State ? Will make $350,000 next season playing for Mobis Phoebus of South Korea, likely one of highest salaries for a rookie playing overseas.
Jacob Pullen, G, Kansas State ? Kansas State's career scoring leader signed Tuesday with Italy's Angelico Biella.
LaceDarius Dunn, G, Baylor ? Israel's Bnei Hasharon announced Thursday it has signed Dunn for the upcoming season.
Ben Hansbrough G, Notre Dame ?� The Big East player of the year signed with FC Bayern Muenchen, a Bundesliga team in Munich
David Lighty, G, Ohio State ? Signed a two-year, $300,000 contract to play with Cantu in Italy
Demetri McCamey, G, Illinois ? Close to signing with a Turkish team, according to the Chicago Tribune.
Cam Long, G, George Mason ? Tweeted on Thursday that he has signed with a pro team in Lithuania.
Xavier Silas, G, Northern Illinois ? Tweeted that he has an invitation to try out for the 76ers and doesn't intend to sign overseas at this time.
