Pre Draft Tour - Blake Griffin

[152219]

I'm interested to see what Taylor's measurables are going to be...

Will he measure 6'6"?
His vertical is going to be up there and I expect his speed/agility and strength numbers to be very impressive.

There is no way Taylor can play anything but SF in the NBA with his size.

So, the question becomes, does he have an offensive game that fits in the SF position in the NBA? I don't think so, at all. I also don't think he can guard the top 50% of the SF's in the league.

Time will tell, I just don't see it.

He will have to find a niche where he can guard 2s and 3s in the NBA. It is possible but I think he has quite a bit of work to do.

I would be shocked too if Taylor got a roster spot THIS year. Now, anything can happen with a few years overseas and whatnot, you can't teach athleticism.

Best of luck to him.

You're in Dallas? Are you Pat Jones?

No...I differentiate from his opinion on athletes and marijuana.

he can defend the 4 coming off the bench..his strength and athleticism make up for height..joey dorsey got drafted and he measured 6'5 or 6'6

Chuck Hayes is defending the post pretty well and Taylor is more athletic.
