Aggies starting point guard Wade Taylor IV is named to the 2024 Bob Cousy Award Watch List
Expectations will be high for Pre-Season All-American Wade Taylor. The junior guard has been named to virtually every pre-season watch list to which he is eligible to be added.
Taylor was recently announced to the Bob Cousy Award watch list along with 19 other players. The award is given annually to the top point guard in Division 1 men’s basketball, and Aggie legend Acie Law IV received the honor back in 2007.
Below is how President and CEO of the Naismith Basketball of Fame, John L. Doleva, describes the spirit of the award.
“The point guards that have been named to the 2024 Bob Cousy Award Watch List truly embody the skills and characteristics that made Bob Cousy the ‘Houdini of the Hardwood,'” said John L. Doleva, President and CEO of the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame. We look forward to watching their leadership and playmaking abilities take center stage and working alongside Bob Cousy and the selection committee to narrow down the watch list throughout the season.”
