Posted March 7th, 2016
One day after Texas point guard Isaiah Taylor was tabbed to the Big 12 coaches’ all-league first team, Taylor was picked to the the Associated Press’ first team as well.
Taylor, a 6-foot-3 junior leads the squad in scoring average (15.0) and assists (4.8). In 2015, he set a career-high in shooting percentage (.421) as the fifth-best scorer in the league.
Taylor is currently dealing with a plantar fasciitis injury, but coach Shaka Smart says he’ll manage Taylor’s practice time this week in advance of the Big 12 tournament.
