I was a little surprised to see that Jack Taylor is a white dude. For some reason I was picturing a Jamaal/Jordan Crawford type guy.

McCollum.
Dal's guy deserves a shout out, though: Trey Burke. He's averaging 18.3 points, 8.0 assists in their first 3 games of the season, while shooting 44% from 3 on 5.3 attempts. He's playing on ESPN2 tonight at 7:30 MST, for anyone who wants to watch.
SI.com's Chris Mannix has an upcoming story on Calipari's ability to develop pros, and he posted some quotes from NBA evaluators online about the four UK freshmen. To sum up the general feeling about each:
Noel: Needs polish offensively, great defensively, surprising showcase of effort.
Poythress: Great body and talent, works better at a 4 but needs to develop a perimeter game for the NBA (they all see him as a small forward).
(Chad said he thinks Alex is a sleeper to go #1.)
Goodwin: Great athleticism, dynamic playmaker, but plays out of control at times and doesn't function great as a point guard at this stage.
Cauley-Stein: Mixed. All think he has underdeveloped potential but most see him as possessing the tools to become a solid pro, possibly after this year.
