I said better shooting percentage, on more attempts, in a better conference.  You are discounting a lot of information that suggests Taylor is a better three point shooter. And focusing on the one data point that is ambiguous.

Taylor might wind up being a low rotation guy, as he has a ton of competition for his role. Carlos has none.  He's the only true point on the team. Their position in the rotation will have little to do with raw shooting ability, and everything to do with how the roster puzzle pieces fit together.

If Westry hits his 90th percentile projection, both Taylor and Carlos might be getting extremely limited minutes by mid season.

I personally hope we don't need to rely heavily on either of them. If Carlos and Taylor play a lot of ACC minutes, it means a few things went wrong, principally that Starling's point guard experiment didn't go well, and Westry's return wasn't as triumphant as we hoped.  That's the benefit and problem with taking senior transfers, you know their upside and floor with small error bars.  They will be solid, but not spectacular.

We know it's deep in the off season, as we're arguing the relative merits of deep bench players. :)
