He’s probably the only true “3” we have on this roster.


Marlon Taylor is going to get a lot of PT at the 3.

6'7", can jump out the gym, 44% from 3, 80% from the FT line, averaged 17/10 in JUCO.

Kid has a legit 42' vert and a great stroke.

Well if you play three guards, you don't really have a place for a 3. We didn't really have a center either last year. Three guards and a couple of power forwards, although they both could shoot the 3 on occasion.

As far as trying to predict what individual players are gonna do, it's tough! There are many a player touted pre-season who for one reason or another don't live up to it in a real game, i.e. SEC. We now have a roster of good to great players but they all can't see significant playing time. Which of them will be the cream that rises to the top and performs consistently when the tough games are on the line, remains to be seen,

I wouldn't look at how we played last year as the only blueprint for this years team. Mays and Edwards are tough on defense but neither are going to slow down a bigger perimeter player. Too much to ask one of the freshman bigs to do that. We definitely have a huge need for Taylor, wouldn't shock me if he ended up top 5 in minutes.
