WHAT THEY'RE SAYING AROUND THE WEB
THE HOOPS REPORT
Taylor has all the tools, including size and athletic ability, but he is still a raw prospect overall. He got his chance this season to lead the Jayhawks and averaged 16.6 points and 4.8 assists per game. Taylor used his size to shoot 52.2 percent inside the arc, showing he can attack the rim off the dribble. Defense could be where Taylor makes a name for himself if he is willing to put in the time.

HOOPS WORLD
A seasoned point guard who has experienced it all over the last four years. Three-point shot improved yearly. Can get into the lane frequently. One of the better defenders at his position.

DRAFT EXPRESS
Taylor brings a number of NBA caliber qualities to the table. Displaying a good first step, nice quickness in the open floor, and impressive lateral quickness defensively, Taylor has a nice athletic profile for a point guard. Couple that with his 6’3 frame and solid build, and he certainly looks the part of an NBA guard. On the defensive end is where Taylor is perhaps most impressive, as he has ideal physical tools for a point guard with his 6'3 frame and excellent lateral quickness and instincts. His fundamentals are very good and he shows great tenacity on this end, often getting into his stance well past the three-point arc.
