Former Colonial point guard Tony Taylor may get his chance to play in the NBA with the New York Knicks.
As reported by ESPNNewYork.com, eight players, including New York’s recent 2013 draft pick Tim Hardaway Jr., are set to suit up for the Knicks’ summer league team, with Taylor being one of the players who “could receive an invite.”
Taylor competed for the Oklahoma City Thunder’s Developmental League team last season, averaging 7.0 points and 3.2 assists per game, after being scouted by the Knicks and several other NBA teams.
If Taylor does indeed get an invite, he will face stiff competition from former Wichita State point guard Toure Murry, who has already been invited to compete. Murry averaged 9.0 points, 3.0 assists and 1.8 steals in the D-League last season.
There, Taylor would also meet up with N.C. State’s C.J. Leslie, Farmingdale State’s A.J. Matthews and Alabama’s Tony Mitchell, as well as current pros Jerome Jordan, Chris Smith and Iman Shumpert.
