Mike Taylor on Channel 13

Paraphrasing because they didn't play the whole interview, just gave quotes on certain questions, but they asked him where ISU would be with him on the team this year, and he said we would be ranked.

Not sure I would go that far, but it sure would have been nice to have last year's leading scorer and MVP on the court.

He also said he's going to enter the NBA draft this summer, and I heard Mike Nurse on KXNO project him as a second round pick

FWIW

He played totally under control and dominated the Dleague game I watched. Wish I was there tonite to watch him.

He has 18 pts. at the half tonight against the Energy. I heard from someone there that he is unstoppable tonight.

Ill never forget the way he took control of Minnesota or his dunk against Nebby...

or showing up for the Cap City league at halftime and not passing the ball to anyone the rest of the game :)

There was a guy that was asked to do way too much at ISU.

He sure wouldnt hurt the team.

"Mike all we need you to do is control the game as a PG which youve never played before, score a ton, play D, dont turn it over, create your own shot, stay hot every game."

Yeah, between all the players that moved on, we lost about 35 potential points this year (Mike, Tasheed, Tags, Corey, Ross, Dodie).

We still have turnovers. We still look a little lost on offense. We still defend well. We do not rebound as well. We are similar to last year.

Imagine him with Lucca in the lineup.

Kinda makes me sick thinking about how that should have happened.

I meant on the court. You'll hear no argument from me that he didn't punch his own ticket out of Ames.

He is one of the more frustrating players I've ever watched but there is no doubt he had some skills. Not playing the point would have really helped him.
