CHICAGO – Three-time first-team All-SEC selection Wade Taylor IV has been invited to the 2025 NBA G League Elite Camp May 9-11 at Wintrust Arena, the NBA G League announced.
The G League Elite Camp gives NBA Draft prospects an opportunity to showcase their skills in front of NBA and NBA G League scouts, coaches and front-office executives. The athletes will participate separately in five-on-five games and strength and agility drills. A select number of players from the draft-eligible group will be invited to participate in the 2025 NBA Draft Combine later in the week based on their performance in the NBA G League Elite Camp.
Taylor, from Dallas, Texas, became the program’s all-time scoring leader and first player to surpass the 2,000-point plateau with 2,058 points. He broke the old record of 1,990 points scored by Bernard King from 1999-2003. On the SEC career scoring list, Taylor stands No. 22 and his total was the most since Tennessee’s Chris Lofton scored 2,131 from 2004-08.
Additionally, Taylor took down career records for free throws (536), FT percentage (.851), 3-point attempts (905) and double-digit scoring games (105), and career records in conference play for 3-pointers (145), 3-point attempts (464), free throws (269) and FT percentage (.865). He set senior class school records for seven 3-pointers vs. South Carolina (game) and .866 free throw percentage (season)
All told, Taylor finished with 24 game, season or career school records at Texas A&M, while also ranking in the top five in 30 other statistical categories.
