Taylor will have a better career than both of them. There are already rumors out that Ross couldn't score on him. Neither of the two you mentioned are capable of guarding PG's effectively. Taylor can and has.
Coach, you never go extreme on any guy... that is just a bad formula, sure, if you nail it, you get recognition but if you fail, you fall real hard. Then they come with Postbadlee again
I think that the quote on the draft boards was that he could guard college 1 - 4's. Do you really think he has any chance to stay in front of the Rondo's, the Parker's etc of the NBA? I sure don't. NBA PG's will treat him like a concrete pillar.
Don't get me wrong, I think the guy could be a solid NBA starter. I just think that picking him at 14 or 16 would be a reach.
My dream scenario would be to get: Lillard/Marshall Ross/Barton/Taylor Taylor D-Mo Melo/Ezeli Almost totally a two-way player lineup. Now i know it would take a buttload of trades for this to happen, but it would give us a much better bench than we have now. I know at least three of them(D-Mo, Taylor, Melo/Ezeli) would be ready to hit the floor immediately. The others could be sent to the Vipers for a while.
Ooooo and the Pistons are at #9. Thus beginning his rise in the draft. http://www.pistonpowered.com/2012/05/detroit-pistons-draftdreams-jeff-taylor/comment-page-1/ It's already starting. Even before the workouts. Draft stock rising??? As i have said once before, if you are in the bottom of the lottery where you can't draft the top SG's, draft the guy who can shut them down.
what the.. how is budinger his comparison? budinger came in as a pretty good shooter, but with suspect defense. he's improved that some. Taylor is coming in as a good defender, and trying to show he's a good shooter. courtney lee man.
He's more like the injured shoulder(18 pts per game instead of 23) Kevin Martin who plays great defense. In either case, never a liability.
I wonder if he is fast enough to guard the SG position. Having Parsons and Taylor would really help the defense.
He is and that is the plan. Or he would come off the bench to guard troublemakers like Terry and Ginobili.
Different source, same story. http://www.nbadraftblog.com/2012-articles/february/scouting-report-jeffrey-taylor.html Here he is showing off a little athleticism. <iframe width="480" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/16chKUcs95g" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
I'm thinking 14-25. This draft has a lot of high risk, high reward guys that will go before him. Taylor is a medium risk, medium reward guy. Taylor's ball handling will keep from the lottery most likely, but defense and shooting skills will keep him from 2nd round. Would love to see him play defense against an NBA caliber player. Always the hardest thing to judge for me.
If Chandler Parsons was in this draft, where do you think he would get picked? I say at least the lottery.
