Maurice Taylor averaged 35.9 mins/game last year. There were 25 PF's last year that averaged 30 or more minutes per game. All of them except 3 averaged more rebs/game than Maurice. The 3 are Juwan Howard, Larry Johnson, and Cliff Robinson. Juwan and Larry averaged almost identical minutes to Maurice, while Robinson averaged about 3.5 minutes less per game. There are several small forwards that outrebounded Maurice last year, some of them played FAR fewer minutes per game. Face it... for his size and athletic ability, his rebounding just sucks. For those of you saying that it's just because it was the Clips, then don't complain when others say that Scottie did nothing wrong because it was Rudy's stupid system that he was forced to adapt to. That's not my opinion, of course, but just throwing it out there... Maybe he can improve, maybe he can't, but I'm still undecided as to whether or not it's a good idea to bring this guy onboard a team that has so much going for it at the moment. ------------------ Just shut up and post
Ok, if Kenny T averaged 17 and 7, shot 46 percent, all the while asking to be payed 2.3 million everyone would be alright with that. Taylor cant be ripped for his attitude about playing for the clipps. 99 percent of you flat out dog that org. What would make it any easier to play for them and not be upset? I dont ever forsee Cato being a 17 and 7 guy (maybe more like a 12-8 guy) But its cool to pay him 7 million a season? For his 2.5 blocks a season. Lets not forget Cato isnt all that stellar a defender. Just a stellar shot blocker. Id take Mo at 2.3 and his 17, 7 while hoping rudy can teach D, being that D can be taught. Catos had more than enough time to figure out at least one post move, or a sliver of an offensive game. Id say Mo has a sliver of D in him and a sliver of rebounding to him, and his rebounding is going up. ------------------ "I have amazing, powers of observation"...Pink
