In addition to signing Jaylen Adams, the Bucks are also signing Rayjon Tucker to an Exhibit 10 contract, per league source.

Tucker, 21, is an undrafted 6-foot-5 forward who played for the Bucks in the 2019 NBA Summer League in Las Vegas, Nevada. He spent two collegiate seasons at Florida Gulf Coast before transferring for his junior year at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock.
In five games in the Summer League, Tucker averaged 10.2 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.0 assists while shooting 42.9 percent from the field, 41.2 percent from deep and 56.0 percent from the free throw line.
Tucker joins Adams in the Bucks camp, the latter of whom spent last season on a two-way contract with the Atlanta Hawks before being signed for the remainder of the 2018-19 campaign.
The two, however, face stiff competition and will have an uphill battle to even get a two-way contract. After all, Milwaukee has already filled their two-way contract spots with Cameron Reynolds and Frank Mason III.
Reynolds played for the Minnesota Timberwolves last season while Mason spent two seasons with the Kings after being selected in the second round of the 2017 NBA Draft.
In his sole season at Little Rock, Tucker averaged 20.3 points, 6.7 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game while shooting 49.1 percent from the floor, 41.1 percent from behind the 3-point arc and 77.7 percent from the charity stripe in 30 appearances.
