Doubt it.  From Juice on line editor Jim Stechschulte:

“The Panthers did not get to face high-major opponents often, as BYU was the lone team of that caliber on their slate. Taylor had a middling effort against the Cougars, posting ten points (4-of-9 shooting, including 2-of-5 3’s), three assists, and two rebounds. In fact, Taylor’s best game against a better-quality opponent was likely when he went 8-of-14 overall and 4-of-5 from long range in a 22-point effort against Troy, who finished third in the Sun Belt and #132 in KenPom.

Aside from his shooting capabilities, Taylor did not display any outsized skills at Georgia State. He posted pedestrian rebounding and assist rates, but did have solid ball security, posting a low turnover rate (13.4) for a player with a high (24.8) usage rate. Taylor also did not make outsized marks on defense and his 78.7 percent mark from the foul line was offset by a very low free throw rate, as he only got to the line 61 times last season.

Taylor amassed a fair amount of experience at Georgia State, but doing so against that lower level of competition likely does not make him a major contributor for the Orange. While a competent shooter, especially in a spot-up role (68.8 percent of his 3-pointers last season were assisted), Taylor has not shown a particularly diverse offensive game, underlined by a lack of assists (56 in 31 games last season) and that lack of trips to the foul line.“
