Nathan Taphorn, 2013

There is no question that Taphorn has ideal size and shooting range when it comes to projecting as a D1 2-guard. He is a terrific spotup shooter, utilizes screens well and has a sweet looking stroke as well as a quick release. While we would like to see Taphorn continue to work on his ball skills, he does possess considerable toughness. In addition to his shooting prowess beyond the arc, Taphorn has shown the ability to battle around the basket and score in the paint area.
