Agreed. I think not having Taylor at the point would be a big help. Have him use his energy crossing through on the baseline, always have him on the move. Then when he gets the ball on the move, either take the open shot, pass to an open guy who was opened up due to his movement through the lane causing a defender to get confused, or else right back to the point if nothing is there for a open shot or a quick assist. Having him control and keep the ball is not the correct approach.
On defense he needs to guard the spot shooter, not a slasher. He's quick, but not in reacting to another player.
I think he could be a great player if used correctly.
