Taylor was a third-round selection in the 2021 G League Draft, taken by the Oklahoma City Blue.
Taylor signed with the Wizards in Nov. 2020 after going undrafted in the NBA Draft, but he was waived less than a month later and played six games with Erie in the G League last year. He should have a more consistent role from the start of the season with Oklahoma City this time around.

During that time, he's averaging just 1.5 points over 2.4 minutes per game. Unless other Erie players get recalled by the parent club, Taylor could have to continue settling for a minimal role.

Rotowire
The Wizards waived Taylor on Thursday, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.
Taylor linked with the Wizards via an Exhibit-10 contract back in November, but the LSU product wasn't able to earn a long-term opportunity. He'll have to look for a chance to latch on with another club.
