I'm becoming a Stevie Taylor internet stalker  lol


He does speak about his future as a Bobcat socially, academically and athletically.

Nice to see him laying it up left-handed and right-handed.  Also good to hear him speak well.

I agree about the use of left and right hand.  One of the most annoying things about youth and college hoops is the paucity of being able to use both hands.  It costs kids layups and getting fouled beaucoup times.

Funny you mention that Jeff. I've been reading a book and one of the chapters was about Steve Nash's ability to become an NBA MVP given his small stature. He said one of the things that he does to confuse defenders is lay up the ball with the wrong hand on either side of the basket to draw fouls and also give himself less chance of getting blocked. So, on a left handed layup, the defender is expecting you to put it up there with the left, but Nash uses his right every so often and draws contact and makes the bucket.

Either way, Stevie Taylor's ability to use both is always a good thing.

105--Agree with Nash.  And you can see him do it in games.  He's just taken his ability to use both hands a step further, showing the good effectiveness one gains from being able to use both hands.  Some point guards on some local teams would not suffer by adding that to their game.

If Taylor (and Cooper) can hit pull up jumpers in the paint, opponents will have their hands full.  If you are ambidextrous and can hit a floater, you'll kill.
