All four of Alabama basketball’s NBA Draft-eligible players found a home after going unpicked. Chris Youngblood became the final of the four to sign as an undrafted free agent, heading to the defending NBA champions.

The Oklahoma City Thunder signed the Tuscaloosa native to a deal that could see him land in the G-League, Alabama basketball announced on Thursday. Youngblood spent one season with the Crimson Tide, his final year of college eligibility.

Youngblood began his college basketball career at Kennesaw State. He then transferred to South Florida before heading to Alabama for the 2024-25 campaign, which ended with the Tide falling in the Elite Eight.

Despite winning the American Athletic Conference’s player of the year award before joining Nate Oats and company in Tuscaloosa, Youngblood found happiness in a bench role with the Crimson Tide for part of the year.

“It’s funny because at first, my family thought I was gonna be mad about not starting, but I was like, ‘Man, this team is wonderful,’” Youngblood said during the season. “So I’ve just embraced this coming-off-the-bench role with my boy (Aden Holloway).

Youngblood finished his lone Alabama season with 10.3 points and 2.3 rebounds per game. He made 44.7% of his field goal attempts.

The Thunder won the NBA championship earlier this month, beating the Indiana Pacers in seven NBA Finals games. No Alabama players were selected in the draft, which happened Wednesday and Thursday.

Mark Sears signed with the Milwaukee Bucks, Grant Nelson with the Brooklyn Nets and Cliff Omoruyi with the Toronto Raptors following the conclusion of the draft.
