Former Texas A&M guard has thrived in the summer league with San Antonio
Under former Texas A&M head basketball coach Buzz Williams, one of the best one-year rentals quickly became a favorite among the Aggie fan base, as Dexter Dennis made an immediate impact during the 2023 season, helping lead the Aggies to the NCAA Tournament as a 7-seed before falling to Penn State. While his college career ended with an early loss in the Big Dance, it was expected that Dennis would have a legitimate shot at the NBA, even though he wasn't considered a top prospect. After four seasons with Wichita State and one with the Aggies, the Louisiana native brought a ton of experience to the table. After going undrafted in the 2023 NBA Draft, Dennis signed with the Dallas Mavericks on a two-way contract, spending time with the Mavericks' G League team, the Texas Legends, after being waived by the Mavericks in late December. During the 2024 season, Dennis was acquired by the Cleveland Charge in exchange for the rights to Fabian White and a 2024 first-round pick, but later signed with the Sacramento Kings on September 25, 2024, and was soon waived, leading to his current team, the King's G-League affiliate, the Stockton Kings. Last spring, Dennis delivered one of his best performances during his stint with the Kings, who won the G League title. He scored 23 points off the bench to help the Kings defeat the Osceola Magic 118-110 in the third game of the series. This summer, Dennis is currently participating in the Summer League with the San Antonio Spurs, scoring 10 points, including a 3-pointer and making all three free throws in Sunday's 90-88 win over the Golden State Warriors. Dennis will continue to grind this summer and will face another former one-year Aggie guard, Zhuric Phelps, when the Spurs take on the Mavericks on July 12. Dexter Dennis, Zhuric Phelps, and Texas A&M's all-time leading scorer, guard Wade Taylor IV, represent the Aggies this summer on the court. Taylor signed with the Milwaukee Bucks this offseason.
