| Taylor is not really a defensive stopper but can help the team while Kwame is still out. Any thoughts? |

Slow Mo is a PF who likes to shoot, but not defend or rebound.
In other words, he'd fit right in. |

Mo Taylor is Brian Cook, Vlad Rad and Slava Medvedenko's illegitimate father - soft outside shooting big who doesn't board well.

Heck NO.
No defense, either in willingness to play it or results from trying it.
No lateral quickness.
No reliable post game anymore.
No shotblocking presence.
No court vision or passing skill.
Cook's tri knowledge alone makes him a better fit right now than Mo.
PASS.

| How would he fit in? Well, he was cut by a team with one of the worst (and severely undersized) bigmen rotation in the NBA. That should say something... |

He's like Cook, except he doesnt hit at least 10% of his shots like Cookie does... so, pass.

Actually Cook is a better three point shooter, but Mo was a better mid-range shooter, and could post up smaller or weaker PFs (like Cook). He had some hops back in his Clipper days, but he lost them while at Houston.
Terrible defender and rebounder. Comparable to Cook's game perhaps a year or two ago, but Cook slightly improved while Slow Mo deteriorated. |
