No ones saying Taylor is a 30 min a game star. If he stays he’ll be in the 10-15 min range off the bench here but maybe less. If he transfers he’ll find the same but not be boo’ed by his own fans.
he played 25 minutes in the nc state loss and it felt like 250
It wouldn’t shock me one bit, if he ends up at Virginia or another high level program if he transfers. I also don’t think the coaching staff wants to lose him just based on the fact that he has started every game and just how emotional they are about the criticism he’s been getting. What the fan base has put him through, I totally understand him leaving. There is a role for him at any high level program, especially if he can get his confidence back with his shooting.
yeah pretty sure red wants to keep him based on all of his comments - not sure why or how, though...
a role at any high level program??!?
what would his role be at Duke or UNC?
it's unfortunate how things have played out with him...but let's just face the facts...what is his role on a high level team ? he can maybe be an end of the bench backup emergency player, maybe?
I think JB saw him as a Buddy clone and love is blind...and thats why he is on the team right now...he was supposed to be "the next Buddy"
I just don't see what basis anyone could use to think he will somehow become a positive contributor to a successful rotation, at this point....he will struggle to become a net neutral player, imo...
why, in this era, would you choose to stick wth that??
there's a sunk cost...and red likes his attitude but this isnt a reality TV show
besides, what is his actual position? hes NOT a PF - hopefully Donny and Brown have that taken care of next year
At SF - he's not better than Quadir or Bell...are you going to start Taylor over Bell and Q? how are you planning to split minutes between those 3? Or what?
not sure what the plan is at the SF...but hopefully some reinforcements are brought in
if Taylor is due about 10 mins a game...why would he even want that? he could drop down a level or two and do really well in a lesser league and play the whole game. or stay and continue to struggle (most likely)
