According to NBA reporter JD Shaw, the Rockets are expected to lay off Taylor Bay to make room for the signing of Ixum.
Taylor Bay will be abandoned by the team again. At a young age, he became a hobo in the league and fell into a dilemma without the ball to play.
Maybe many fans are not familiar with the player Taylor Bay. Today I will introduce it to my brothers.
He is 2 meters 01, with a wingspan of 2.17 meters, weighs 98 kilograms, and has 5% body fat. He is a striker. He participated in the NBA draft in 2020, but because of his age and other reasons, his draft market was not good, and he was not selected until the 36th overall pick.
Taylor-Bay’s advantage is that he is young and energetic, has a good bounce, and his run-up bounce is as high as 1.1 meters! Can fly good dunks, and will stage heavy dunks in the game whenever there is a chance.
His weakness is: unclear positioning on the field, "no three, no four". Let him play four-on-five, his height and weight have become a serious injury, and the height of the basket is seriously insufficient. When he encounters a heavy interior, his strength confrontation will also be very disadvantaged. Let him play as a small forward, and he doesn't have a stable three-point shooting ability. Moreover, his vision is not broad enough to play the role of supporting forwards, and his ability to hold the ball is also limited.
Last season he played for the Mavericks team and didn't get any chance. Only played in 18 games, averaging 3.9 minutes per game, 1 point 1.1 rebounds, 31.8% shooting and 25% three-point shooting. Was decentralized to play in the Development League.
Last month the Rockets threw an olive branch to him and signed a training camp contract with him. But now the Rockets have changed their minds and have to choose to say goodbye to him.
I hope that Taylor Bay can practice three-pointers in the next training. In this era of small balls, without this ability, the road will become narrower and narrower.
