Taylor Signs Multi-Year Deal With Houston

Isn't he 6'5? That's not really undersized.

most places on the web list him at 6-4"

I just hope he turns out better than the last Taylor the Rockets signed as a free agent (Mo)

If he makes a smooth tranistion from college to the NBA, then he will be an all-star. obviously, I still dont know how he will fair completely, but everything i saw him do in college was just amazing. If he doesn't turn out to be a starting quality Guard within 2 years, then you can call him a bust, but the only thing you'd end up losing is a 2nd round pick.

Which begs the question. How did somebody with Carter's athleticism in Dwade's body fall to the 2nd round?

Because he played in Conference USA... Players in lower tier conferences usually arent the first draftees selected.

Derrick Rose played in Conference USA and he was the #1 overall pick a year ago.
D-Wade also played in CUSA (although it was a lot stronger back then)

he should be listed as 6'4 but some places will have him at 6'5. not that undersized specially w/ a 205 lb body but still one inch short. should be able to hnadle that hto

Taylor didnt play for a powerhouse like memphis though (derrick Rose did). Memphis is the only school in C-USA who gets any respect.
