    Acouple of things here. Check out his dads Rockets jersey. Cool.
    Also, that dunk at :21 seconds is so nasty, it's disgusting.:grin:

    Jeffrey Taylor is actually a really good looking guy (aesthetically)...he kind of resembles Tony Parker


    All the half black guys in the NBA have a black father and white mother...

    Jeffrey Taylor is the kind of glue guy that a team without a star desperately needs.

    One guy that Taylor was compared to, Thabo Sefolosha, was and will be giving LeBron James problems for a while. Guess what people, Taylor will be a better shooter than Sefolosha. Picture Parsons with an improved defense holding James and Taylor holding Wade. This is what i am talking about. James and Wade would shoot damn near 100 shots to make 20pts each.
    You are telling me that it makes sense to pick a one way, 22 year old project SF like Morris over a 23 year old proven athlete who does it all at 14 and will contribute immediately after the press conference???!!!!:confused:
    How ass backwards is that??:rolleyes:
    I'm tired of projects!!! Get me somebody in this draft that is going to help this team win now!!! Not next year. Not 2 years from now when he(Morris) finally figures it out!!!

    Jeffrey Taylor shut MKG, a projected top 5 pick, down!!! Yes, MKG was 19 all three times he went up against Taylor. So what!!! He will be 19-20 when he gets to the league and will get his skinny ass skinned alive by professionals then. You won't be crying for him then, so why cry for him now???
    Basically, because of his proven elite level defense, it wouldn't at all be a reach to draft Taylor at 14 or 16.

    While I really do not like your writing style, I agree that having 2 lock down wing defenders would be a great luxury to have. With teams like Miami and OKC both having 2 big fast dangerous wings, it would be great to have a defender on each that wasn't looking at their butt crack most of the game.;)

    Large bold fonts. May be just me so if I were you I would not pay to much attention.

    I'm hearing reports that Jeff Taylor has had to issue a restraining order on an overzealous fan that has been increasing draft expectations to unobtainable levels.

    They'd certainly be the best-looking backcourt in the NBA

    If Jeffrey Taylor were 21, he would be a top 10 pick.

    Here is one quote from Ford:
    This gives a better look at player comparisons.

    I think he's similar to Shane Battier. Similar character, defense, and shooting ability.

    Coach, you really like him.

    Looks like he's a very solid pick with almost no bust potential.

    Yeah. I may have been reaching just a bit on the lottery pick, but at 16, i think he would be a good pick.
