Former Texas A&M star Rashaun Agee delivered 10 points and seven rebounds for Cleveland, strengthening his bid for a G League or two-way opportunity this fall.
Rashaun Agee didn’t hear his name called during the 2026 NBA Draft, but the former Texas A&M basketball star isn’t waiting around for somebody to hand him a career.
Agee made his strongest NBA Summer League statement Thursday night, producing 10 points, seven rebounds, two assists and one block in only 18 minutes during the Cleveland Cavaliers’ 82-77 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans.
That’s the kind of efficient, physical performance an undrafted player needs when every possession feels like an audition.
Agee wasn’t asked to dominate the ball or manufacture highlight-reel shots.
He attacked the paint, battled on the glass and gave Cleveland reliable interior toughness.
The jersey has changed from Texas A&M’s No. 12 to Cleveland’s No. 46, but his playing identity hasn’t.
At 6-8 and 231 pounds, Agee brings the size and strength to absorb contact around the basket. More importantly, he understands how to create value without needing an offense built around him.
Rebounding, screening, finishing through traffic and defending multiple frontcourt positions could become his path to professional basketball.
Cleveland signed Agee to an Exhibit 10 contract after the draft. The one-year, non-guaranteed agreement gives him a training-camp invitation and an opportunity to fight for a place in the organization.
The most likely destination remains Cleveland’s G League affiliate, where Agee could continue developing while staying close to the Cavaliers’ coaching staff.
A strong Summer League finish could also put a two-way contract in play, allowing him to split time between the NBA and G League.
Agee built his case long before arriving in Cleveland.
During his only season on the court for Texas A&M, the Chicago native averaged 16.2 points and 9.3 rebounds while helping the
Aggies reach the second round of the NCAA Tournament. He recorded a school-record 13 double-doubles in 2025-26, with eight coming against SEC opponents.
Those numbers showed Agee could deliver against physical, high-level competition. Now he must prove those same traits translate against bigger, faster professional players.
Thursday’s performance won’t guarantee him a roster spot. Summer League careers aren’t secured by one productive night.
But Agee needed a moment that forced Cleveland’s decision-makers to pay attention. Ten points, seven rebounds and winning basketball in limited minutes did exactly that.
The draft passed him by. His NBA opportunity hasn’t.
