Mo Taylor?!?  Maurice Taylor?  Taylor has yet to show
any signs of being a dominant player in the post.  He
was above average on the Clippers (which is the
equivalent to being mediocre) and he has shown he is
not the Rocket's answer in the low post.  He's a
decent shooter but he's not that aggressive down low,
his rebounding is average, and his footspeed is too
slow (a step quicker than Vitale).
As much as I can't stand Walker's game, I'd rather
have Toine playing forward then Taylor.  Moochie is
not so great at the point (otherwise Seattle would not
have got rid of him) but he is better than our point
guard by committee (Brown, Herren, Palacio).  As for
Shane "I Ride On The Coat Tails of Future NBA Stars"
Battier, he has made huge strides since his freshman
year but he is just a serviceable role player like
Wally Szerbiak.  He's a little more athletic than
Wally but I don't think he's an immediate fix for any
team, at least not yet.
