I wouldn’t say that. He’s 3rd in the league in defensive rebounding % and 4th in overall rebounding %. Almost 10 rpg in 24 minutes. There are advantages to being so big you can’t be moved. Though admittedly it does hinder overall defensive effectiveness.
To be fair, he shot over 43% from 3 last year. Still a remarkable shooting night though. Looks so funny now on Basketball Reference that he’s averaging 50ppg on over 90% from 3 for the season.
They seem to have a big hole at pg with Conley falling off while he has been one of the main factors in keeping this team together in the past. Not really an established player behind him. It surprised me they didn’t sign a veteran pg in free agency (but perhaps I’ve missed something). They may...

I agree. I was just trying to say that a guy with his physical profile and shooting fits well in the league, hence my high expectations. Let’s hope his actual skills and processing catch up quickly.
I hope Key had a sophomore slump last year and it was just limited to not improving instead of the more common regression. So room for a big step this year. But out of the guys mentioned I have the highest hopes for Taylor based on nothing but his physical profile really.
