Donell

Taylor

Terms of the deals were not disclosed but news of these deals broke a couple weeks ago. Taylor, 25, has averaged 2.7 points, 1.1 rebounds and 0.9 assists in two seasons with the Wizards while Hall, who originally signed with Washington late last season, appeared in just two games with the club.

Taylor, who spent the past two seasons with Washington, averaged 5.8 points and 1.3 steals in 13.8 minutes during the preseason.

Taylor joined the Wizards as an undrafted rookie free agent in 2005 out of the University of Alabama-Birmingham and has appeared in 98 games in two seasons. He’ll see spot minutes at both guard positions, but it would take a major injury to a key player on the team for him to make a fantasy impact.

He’ll be fighting for the last roster spot with Shannon Brown.

All three players have an outside shot at making the final roster after playing in the NBA last season. Brown may have the most upside, and even flirted with having fantasy value at times with Memphis.

That puts their preseason roster at 15 players, 13 of which are on guaranteed contracts.

He hit just 1-of-3 shots, and while he’s not likely to have fantasy value this season, he could be the starting two-guard for the Wizards next season.

Who? You know Eddie Jordan was going pulling out all the stops tonight if Taylor had 15 points. Jordan introduced a “hustle board” before the game, awarding “points” to players for deflections, steals and offensive rebounds. It’s obvious that Jordan has heard enough about the lack of defense his team plays, so he made some major changes tonight. We expect things to get back to normal soon though.

He played in the entire fourth quarter of his last game and had five points, five assists and a steal in 18 minutes. He doesn’t have fantasy value, but he’s worth keeping an eye one.
