ESPN's Mark Jones sent out a post about Taylor when the news was first reported by Chris Haynes (earlier this month).

Via Jones on September 6: "I’ve watched a Terry Taylor all summer down in Miami with @RemyTraining23 and in @MiamiProLeague_. Taylor lost about 10 pounds this summer without losing any strength to become an even more mobile explosive wing. He has great instincts and a good touch. Strong in the paint."
