Past Fantasy Outlooks
2006
2005
2004
2003
Although his natural position is power forward, Taylor is expected to back up Brad Miller at center. Regardless of his playing position, he probably won't log enough minutes to warrant a selection even in deeper fantasy leagues.
Taylor is a very solid inside scorer whose lax play on the boards and on defense drove Houston coach Jeff Van Gundy nuts. While he may post the occasional high-scoring night, he’s unlikely to receive consistent enough minutes to be a good option in fantasy leagues.
Taylor will see 20 minutes or so per game backing up Juwan Howard at the power forward spot. Expect some points and a few rebounds, but Taylor doesn't provide much more than that fantasy-wise.
Taylor returned from a ruptured Achilles tendon last season, and the results were spotty: 43% FG percentage, 8.4 ppg., 3.5 rpg. in 20.6 mpg. It's possible that Taylor will play better now that he's two seasons removed from his surgery, but it looks like he's on the downside of his career.
