G-League guard Bryson Warren commits to Texas A&M basketball

Former G-League guard Bryson Warren has announced his commitment to Texas A&M.

At 6-foot-3 and 180 pounds, Warren averaged 19.9 points, 3.0 rebounds and 5.0 assists as a starter for the Westchester Knicks last year. He shot 42.9 percent from the field, 38.6 percent from 3-point range and 83.3 percent at the free-throw line.

Try to take some of these numbers with a grain of salt because the G-League doesn’t play much defense, so Warren’s shot diet won’t look the same in college. Still, he is a volume shooter. He averaged 15.9 field goal attempts per game in 32.8 minutes last year, including 11.2 3-point attempts per game. He averaged making more than four made triples per game, so it’s clear this staff projects him as the elite shooter to pair with the downhill driving of PJ Haggerty.

Warren was third in the G-League in 3-point field goals per game and 3-point field goals attempted per game. He can be the volume shooter A&M needs, someone who can also create for himself downhill and side to side, which was a trait Rubén Dominguez was lacking last year. Warren is not just a volume shooter. He’s a creator who can make things happen for his teammates, averaging 4.58 assists per game over the last two years in the G-League.

Warren went straight from his senior year of high school in 2021 to playing for Overtime Elite before joining the G-League in 2023. He declared for the NBA Draft in 2024 but was never selected, which led him to the G-League ever since. Until the NCAA completely outlaws G-League players coming to college for the first time, teams are going to take advantage, as multiple G-League players who never started their college eligibility clock have already committed to power conference schools this offseason.

Bucky McMillan and his staff have shown they will be at the forefront of roster construction, looking for creative ways to add experience to their roster. Last year, they added a 21-year-old European pro in Dominguez, and this year, they’re adding a 21-year-old G-Leaguer in Warren.

The Aggies worked in silence to quietly get Warren on campus during the middle of the week, and A&M beat Sean Miller and Texas in this head-to-head recruiting battle.

Warren is still waiting to be deemed eligible by the NCAA.
