With the No. 60 and final pick of the 2020 NBA Draft, the Milwaukee Bucks selected Utah State shooting guard Sam Merrill.
Merrill is one of the top marksmen in this year's draft class. He shot 42% on 3-pointers and 89% from the free-throw line in 131 career games with the Aggies.
The Utah native took massive strides offensively in his junior and senior seasons, which helped Utah State finish those campaigns with a combined 54-15 record. Merrill was the team's top offensive option both years, averaging 20 points over 68 contests.
