It's not often you get to see guys breaking all-time scoring records. That's what Wade Taylor IV did in the most Wade way possible last season. He got an offensive rebound from deep in the right wing and let it go, making for an unbelievable shot.

Taylor IV will get that chance to make a full-time G League or NBA roster, or at least compete for one this summer during the NBA Summer League. After going undrafted in the 2025 NBA Draft, one of Texas A&M's finest on the hardwood will get that chance.

4 needs to make the most of his shot, because who knows what other shot he'll get. The Milwaukee Bucks will get one of the most dynamic shooters in college basketball last year, and has a shot to play with one of the greatest players in history, Giannis Antetokounmpo.

Taylor IV signs NBA Summer League deal with Bucks

The 2025 NBA Draft has made it clear that you can be one of the most exciting shooters in college basketball, but it still doesn't exactly translate to draft material. Chaz Lanier, Miles Kelly, Mark Sears and Wade Taylor are just a few of those SEC guys.

Sears, going undrafted, has also signed a deal with the Bucks. This is a powerhouse of young, incredible shooters that can hopefully out the Bucks in the future.

This is a great moment for 4, and well deserved as well. There should definitely be a spot on at least a G League roster for Wade just because he set a new tone for becoming Texas A&M's all-time leading scorer. That doesn't happen everyday.

Good luck to Wade! And let's hope he makes a G League roster, or better, make his way onto the Bucks roster full-time.
