[Video] Jermaine Taylor Highlights vs. Wizards 3/30/2010

first (to say that DD should be scarfing down some crow these days)

 

Wow, I haven't seen him play yet because of exams, but he is real aggressive going to the rim. Nice to have some attackers come off the bench.

 

He has improved a lot.....A WHOLE lot.

Happily would I eat some crow.

Great video!
I think anybody that isn't surprised by how well he is playing must be a Central Florida fan. I'm just still amazed at how we have 3 rookies playing so well. All of them are athletic, too. This is a fun team to watch grow (course some may depart or not depart in the offseason), but its nice to have a talented deep bench that will only get better in the offseason and during next season.

 

Lucky young fellas got Coach A, not JVG.

 

I think he's improved a lot too. He's looking good and will benefit from a summer of work.

The real key for him will be once teams have scouted him and discover that he's very uncomfortable driving to the hoop with his left hand. If he's able to solve this problem, he can be a good rotation player. Great 6th man material IMO.

 

Remember the days when people lamented at how we let Wafer go? Leave it to Morey to understand just who is replaceable and who is not.

 

Its nice to see JT make the most of these starts, and finally show what he can do.

But last night Chase won that game for us.

 

He reminds me alot of Vernon Maxwell. Similar 6'4 hard body, athletic and has that ability to get shots off inside off balanced. He does seem more selective in his shots than Vernon which is a good thing. Actually if he shaved his goatee he might just look like the young Vernon.

 

He actually reminds a lot of Steve Francis except he knows he isn't a point guard.

 

He reminds me of a young Jon Koncak with more speed and more soul.

 

oh hell no he's more like a McFlurry concoction of Uwe Blab w/ a little JR Rider mixed in

 

He could even be a Mike Penberthy supreme pizza with juicy chunks of Antoine Carr, extra Harold Miner and a side order of Korleone Young.

 

He reminds me of Corey Maggette

 

How about the Chuckwagon with the spin and sweet kiss off the glass? Who needs Yao?

 

Teams that want to make the playoffs.

I know you're excited for Chuck, we all are, but don't say that again.

 

Any team that needs to rely on Hayes as a key starter is going no where playoff time. As good defensively as Hayes is, good centers will just shoot over him all day. I rather have Jordan Hill completely replace him next season when Yao comes back. Then again, I want us to trade Yao so oh well.

 

Areas for Improvment:

Chase:
* Get tougher and better on defensive end. Can jump out of the gym, however, shows no passion/want to play D.
* Sticks to screens like glue
* Rebounding. Once again, can jump out of the gym, should rebound better.

JT
* Move the rock, u r not the go to player... play your role
* Get with Shane to understand the game and nuances of playing position D
* Work that left hand to death, would love to see u dunk from a left hand drive with your left hand. ala SheMac, who was great at it
