Scouting Report for Portland Trail Blazers Undrafted Free Agent Signing Sean Pedulla
The Portland Trail Blazers have signed free agent Sean Pedulla to an Exhibit 10 contract after he went undrafted in the 2025 NBA draft, according to Jon Chepkevich of DraftExpress.
Pedulla wrapped up his four-year college career by making third-team All-ACC in 2024 and third-team All-SEC in 2025.
Across those two seasons for Virginia Tech and Ole Miss, the undersized playmaker averaged 15.9 points, 4.2 assists, 3.9 rebounds and 2.1 threes while shooting 36.4 percent from deep.
Essential Facts and Stats

Realistic Pro Comparison: T.J. McConnell
1 of 3
T.J. McConnell should be someone whom Pedulla idolizes with how he's been able to carve out a decade-long NBA career by being crafty, scrappy and tough defensively.
Pedulla isn't a great athlete, but he can make shots, force turnovers and set the table. And like McConnell, he was a disruptive force on defense in 2024-25, when he averaged 1.9 steals per game.
Strengths
2 of 3
Shotmaking: Though he's undersized in almost every matchup (even in college), Pedulla had a knack for being able to get to his spot, get defenders off-balance and get tough shots to go in.
IQ: You don't make it this far as a 6'1" guard without a little cleverness. Pedulla's ability to change pace, mix up dribbles use shot and pass fakes helped him get to the NBA.
Touch Shots: A lot of Pedulla's attempts inside the arc had to be floaters, flip shots, etc. He showed an ability to be able to put those softly through the net.
Weaknesses
3 of 3
Size: There's no getting around it. It's hard to survive in the NBA at 6'1", even if you are a 99th percentile athlete.
Athleticism: Frankly, Pedulla isn't that. Craft, guile and shiftiness will be crucial for his staying power.
Defense: The above weaknesses contribute to this one. Pedulla is going to have a hard time staying in front of quicker, longer guards and perhaps an even harder time keeping burlier ones away from the rim.
