Yeah, Tay's defense is really no better (or no worse) than Sprads or Angel at this point. All are solid (not great) on ball defenders and all do what Frank asks them to do most of the time (which lends itself to getting beat some off the dribble). While we were waiting on Angel to come around, Tay did have a couple games where his defense stood out as being pretty good, but I think all three of those guards just sort of evened out as the season went along, with all having some bad moments or games along the way.
The biggest surprise by far with Tay is he was our best 3PT shooter in conference games; his 44.8% just above Rod's 44.6%. Granted on only 29 attempts (Sprads, Rod, Angel, and Jamar all had more). Tay was nearly 15% better in Big 12 games shooting 3s than he was last year.
