Rookies, Rizz, and Rising Stock: NBA Bachelors on the Market
Forget "Love Is Blind" this is Love Is Courtside, and these MVPs are here to play and steal hearts. From viral walk-ins to postgame thirst traps, these are the bachelor ballers. They are single, skilled, and soaring into stardom. Known as the NBA’s most eligible who are turning heads both on and off the court:
Jaylen Wells — Memphis Grizzlies
The underdog with starboy swagger is first on the list. From D2 gyms to the NBA All-Star limelight, Jaylen Wells’ rise is what basketball dreams are made of. This 6'7" sharpshooter went from Sonoma State to guarding Steph Curry in a game watched by millions, no pressure. With his smooth jumper, humble grit, and that all-business stare, Jaylen’s giving “mystery man at the open gym who turns out to be league-bound.” And yes, ladies, he’s single—just don’t shoot your shot unless you're from deep range.

Stephon Castle — San Antonio Spurs
The defensive heartthrob is next on the list. Locking up guards on the court and stealing hearts off it is what we call the Stephon Castle experience. This 6'6" UConn champ is all about defense, discipline, and drip. Drafted by the Spurs, he's being mentored by the one and only Gregg Popovich, which means his game IQ is sky-high. But don’t let the serious face fool you—Stephon’s a lover of sneakers, soul food, and a good playlist. Your mom would definitely approve.

Dalton Knecht — Los Angeles Lakers
This small town star with big Laker energy is an excellent pick for your draft and the NBA’s. Dalton Knecht has that “homecoming king turned NBA draft pick” energy. Tennessee fans knew he was HIM before the rest of the world caught on, and now he’s rocking purple and gold with Bronny and LeBron. Killer from deep, smooth in interviews, and known to rock a backward hat like it’s 2010 Tumblr, Dalton’s giving Southern charm with West Coast swagger. He dunks. He dances. He’s definitely not dating (yet).

Quincy Olivari — NBA Free Agent
The silent sniper in waiting is last on the list but certainly not last in our hearts. Quincy’s not officially on a roster right now, but don’t get it twisted—this man can hoop. After lighting it up at Rice and Xavier, he made waves with the Lakers in Summer League and has serious sleeper pick energy. Underrated, unbothered, and uncuffed, Quincy trains in silence, then drops 30 without breaking a sweat. The only thing smoother than his shot? Probably his DM game.

They’ve got the game, the glow-up, and the grind… but no rings (yet). So, if you're looking for your next basketball crush? You just found four. They're bringing a mix of boyfriend energy, league-ready potential, and just enough chaos to make it fun. So the next time you're watching a game and wondering who that cute #22 is? It’s one of them. And yes, he’s still single…for now.
