Florida State’s Kam Taylor is one of the best returners in the 2027 NBA Draft and has the potential to be a lottery pick.
The 6’7 guard had a breakout sophomore season for UNC Asheville where he averaged 19/5/3 and was one of the best mid major players in the country.
Taylor’s mix of athleticism, finishing, shooting upside, playmaking, motor, defensive upside, and shot creation at his height and age gives him one of the highest ceilings in next year’s class
Taylor is one of the best athletes in the country at 6’7 who has a 46 inch vertical and an elite quick first step, and he uses his athleticism to his advantage to be a highly versatile scorer.
Taylor’s mix of athleticism, pace, finishing, and craft helped him be one of the most efficient PNR players in the country where he finished in the 90th percentile on 103 attempts. Taylor’s skill in the PNR helped him consistently play PG for UNC Asheville where he provided a lot of versatility as a shot creator and playmaker.
Taylor was an extremely skilled driver at the rim who shot 59% at the rim on 188 attempts and is also elite at drawing fouls, he’s also good at using his rim pressure and scoring to create open shots for his teammates as a playmaker. Taylor is also a strong mid range scorer who is a good tough shot maker and has great touch on his floaters. Taylor also shot 35% from three in conference play on 5 attempts a game and has an extremely quick jumper.
Taylor transferred to Florida State where he has the chance to be one of the biggest breakout prospects in next year’s draft class.

One of the most underrated transfers that I highlighted is Kameron Taylor headed to FSU.
One of 4 underclassmen to have a 15+ assist%, 15 dunks & 35 threes last year (joining AJ Dybantsa, Tyler Tanner & Cam Boozer)
Wildly talented wing for @FSUHoops
Good luck to @toyazsolomon1 who will be partaking in a workout today with the Charlotte Hornets!
Tay is the third player in the program in the last four years to get invited to participate in a NBA workout.
