A little lover for Taylor in there as well

 

[Sam]

He has some of the same strengths as his brother -- he's tough, physical, an excellent athlete and a very hard worker. He also showed off an impressive jumper in the workout with legit NBA 3-point range.

Taylor must have been hot, hot, hot from deep.

Wonder if that is BG's wheels in the background???

What a great article, I got the chills reading that. Was an honor to watch him play and I hope to god he comes back to OU from time to time so we can honor him.

I am a huge fan of Taylor Griffin's but I am not sure he can truly defend the 3 in the NBA or has legitimate NBA 3 point range. I hope I am completely wrong and he makes me look like a fool for expressning this opinion.

 

[OKURanger]

Thanks for posting. A great read.

 

[FaithfulSooner]

Don't be surprised if someone gives Taylor a shot. I won't be. BOOMER SOONER BABY!!!

 

[SoonerfanTU]

I'll be shocked if he makes an NBA roster. Shocked.

 

[okccpa]

I can't say I would be shocked. How different of a player is he from Stephen Graham? He did practically nothing in college and has stuck around the NBA.

 

[elmocarp]

I'll be mildly and pleasantly surprised if he makes an NBA roster. Mildly and pleasantly surprised.

If Hollis and Ace can't make a roster, neither can Taylor.

If Hollis and Ace can't make a roster, neither can Taylor.

Shame no one has told him that...maybe someone could text him?

 

[Snr4Life]

Great article. I would love to see Taylor make an NBA roster, I think he can be a role player in the NBA

 

[htownSOONER]

I think Taylor can make the league. Taylor just has to catch on with the right team and get his confidence going. I think those of you doubting him will be suprised.

 

[Seymore Cox]

If Hollis and Ace can't make a roster, neither can Taylor.

Hollis and Ace's only pro attribute was shooting. From an athleticism standpoint, Taylor has a better chance to make the NBA than those guys.

Stephen barely got on the floor at OSU, and he has been in the NBA for several years now.

I really dont know what Taylor can do in the NBA though......

If Hollis and Ace can't make a roster, neither can Taylor.

If Najera can make a roster, then Taylor can, too. He's a better comparison.

 

[SoonerfanTU]

If Najera can make a roster, then Taylor can, too. He's a better comparison.

Eh. Athletically, maybe. But Najera was a ton more skilled.

Najera was definitely more skilled than Taylor, but athletically, Taylor is clearly superior IMO.

As for Taylor....I think he is going to have to go overseas a few years first and catch a break to make it to the NBA

 

[SoonerNorm]

Taylor has improved a lot the last two years. I have no idea whether he can go straight to an NBA team right now but in 2-3 years I think it's certainly possible if he continues to improves.
