The 2024 NBA draft has recently concluded and unfortunately, no former Notre Dame players were selected. However, there was some positive news for one player as Cormac Ryan agreed to a short-term contract with the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Ryan, who transferred to Notre Dame from Stanford, had made a name for himself with his solid performance. After spending four years at Notre Dame, Ryan made his way to the Thunder, providing them with a valuable addition to their roster. His time at Notre Dame was marked by impressive stats, averaging 10.5 points per game over 31.2 minutes.
One of Ryan’s standout performances last season was when he scored 31 points in a road win over Duke, hitting six three-pointers in the process. The signing with the Thunder marks a new chapter in Ryan’s career, and fans are eager to see what he will bring to the team. While not hearing his name called in the draft may have been disappointing, Ryan’s determination and talent have earned him a spot in the NBA with the Thunder.
