Paris Taylor brings old-school forward grit to Green Bay

Taylor is a 6-foot-6, 200-pound forward whose best value comes from rim-running, physicality, and finishing rather than volume scoring; in the 2020-21 season at Green Bay, he played 23 games with 23 starts, averaged 3.3 points and 2.8 rebounds, and shot 48.1% from the field, with a season-high 10 points and 7 rebounds against Minnesota. He looks like a fit for a team that needs toughness, energy, and a player willing to do the dirty work—less flashy, more glue-guy, which is exactly the kind of sneaky useful piece coaches love.
