Jordan Taylor

The most noticeable difference between the Badgers of now and the Badgers of last season comes at point guard, where the graduated Trevon Hughes has been replaced by Jordan Taylor, who is, in six words, far better than Trevon ever was. Taylor turns it over only 1.1 times per game, which is hard to fathom in a 36 mpg starting point guard; it becomes even harder to fathom when you consider he passes for 4.8 assists per game, and also puts up 18.2 ppg on percentages of 46%/86%/45%. Taylor can shoot the ball, handle the ball, create off the dribble (save for Leuer, he's pretty much the only player who can), defend his position, take over games, is an unquestioned leader, and, as is probably already evident by now, is an extremely high IQ player. As of right now, he absolutely oozes Devin Harris; not as quick, perhaps, but stronger, and a better shooter thus far on their respective curves.
