He was a good player being forced to play the wrong position, he is NOT a point guard.

You are spot on. Mike could always crank it up.

Re: Mike Taylor is tearing it Up in the D-League Championship

Yes, off the bench for some energy. He seems like a Don Nelson Warrior type. Mybe a Phoenix type. Yet, the Knicks are in the greatest need for some enthusiasm.


What if Be Like Mike did the pros and Stinson/Will never quite made it other than flashes. That would be a switcheroo.

Re: Mike Taylor is tearing it Up in the D-League Championship

He was asked to leave the Cyclone family. I support McD's decision and on top of that I believe the guy may have provided a couple more wins last year he hindered the development of the team two years ago and I believe would have last year. Mike Taylor is an exciting player but for me to believe he was benefitial to the program would be contradictory to what I assume to be HCGMcD's vision. (Based on the assumption Coach McD values possessions and wanted to run an actual offense.)

I wish Mike Taylor well but he no longer has any significance to ISU basketball.

Re: Mike Taylor is tearing it Up in the D-League Championship

DID ANYONE SEE WHAT HE DID!! HE WENT CRAZY!!!

there was a stretch where he nailed 4 threes in a row!!

he finished with 27points on 10/16 shooting 7/10 from 3 point land with 6 rebounds 2 assist and of course 7 turnovers in 28minutes
he was the leading scorer of the game and his team won 108-101

Re: Mike Taylor is tearing it Up in the D-League Championship

Good for Mike! Unfortunately things didn't work out so well for him at ISU, he made some stupid decisions. He obviously regrets those decisions, but probably has learned from them. I wish him all the best. Of course, I really wish he hadn't made those stupid decisions and was still playing for the good guys, but what's done is done. Go Mike!
