Dante Taylor
Power Forward
Pitt
6'9
215
3/18/90
Ratings: B- D+ D B B- B
Pros:[/u]
-Well rounded
-Long Wingspan
-Knows how to finish above the rim
-Good leaping ability
-Physically gifted
-Decent face up game
-Aggressive going to the rim
-Pretty good rebounder
-Solid defender
-Can get up and down the court
-Good quickness for a four
-Can finish in transition
-Ok midrange shot
-Has ability to jump quickly
Cons:[/u]
-Poor back to the basket game
-Still shown signs of being raw
-Lack of presence in the paint
-Not the best decision making
-Inconsistent from the field
-A lil bit on the skinny side
-Not good in the post
-Unimpressive foot work
-Sometimes plays small
-Tries to do too much at times
-Needs to improve range
-Gets down on himself
Overall:[/u]
Another solid prospect that should make his way into the first round. Decent starter ratings and good athleticism could make him desirable to some. But his small stature and what appears to be lack of will to improve will likely keep Dante out of the lotto. Still, if he has some hidden potential and with a few wise camps, Taylor could make some team very happy. All in all he should be a decent bench player.
