Undrafted Ozyiah Sellers Seeks Knicks Roster Spot With Strong Summer League Showing

A 10-point, seven-rebound bench game and a Pitino-forged competitive mindset give him a clear path to press for a training-camp or two-way invite.

Overview

  • Sellers went undrafted in 2026 but signed to play for the New York KnicksSummer League team as a chance to earn a roster or training-camp spot.
  • In New York’s 86-75 Summer League win over Detroit he logged 22 minutes and produced 10 points and seven rebounds as the top bench contributor.
  • Sellers credited St. John’s coach Rick Pitino for preparing him for pro play, saying Pitino’s accountability and intensity translated to what Knicks coaches demand.
  • He says going undrafted has increased his motivation and that he will use his upcoming Summer League appearances, including a game against Golden State, to make his case to Knicks decision-makers.
  • Summer League is the principal audition for undrafted players and Sellers benefits from familiar culture and fan overlap between St. John’s and the Knicks, but scouts say his shooting, off-ball movement, and perimeter defense will determine whether he lands a two-way or camp spot.
