If youve heard of Raymond Taylor then congratulations, you already know what Im talking about.Florida Atlantics point guard is one of the most exciting college basketball players to watch. He is listed at 5-foot-6, but is closer to 5-foot-4, and ever since he put on an FAU uniform, he's been the best player on their team.He looks like he doesnt belong on the same court as his teammates and not just because he looks more like a third grader than freshman in college Its because hes better than everyone else.

Its as if FAU had somehow landed a five-star recruit and sets up the entire offense for him to make plays.Through 10 games this season for the Owls, Taylor is carrying the team scoring 18.2 points per game and dishing out 6.3 assists each contest.In a triple-overtime, 106-99 victory over Warner Southern, Taylor played 43 minutes and scored 25 points with seven assists, while making 16-of-18 free throw attempts.Hes even helped achieve a milestone already for Mike Jarvis young program by winning their first-ever road game in the Sunbelt conference.Over his last four games, Taylor is averaging 22.8 points, six assists, and two steals.Hes not just doing this against lesser competition either. In FAUs last game against the University of Miami in the Orange Bowl Classic, Taylor was clearly the best player on the floor for either team as he single-handedly kept the Owls from getting blown out by throwing up 23 points, seven assists and five rebounds.He also nearly made three Miami players fall in the open floor before the Hurricanes learned their lesson and decided to just let Taylor go by them instead of embarrassing themselves any further.I first saw little Ray embarrassing his opponents in Lakeland, Fla. He also played for the best AAU team (Team Breakdown) in the country that won two national championships and consisted of Boynton, UCFs Keith Clanton and the No. 1 ranked player by Rivals in the class of 2010, Brandon Knight.While the world of basketball will see and has seen hundreds of players like Boynton and Knight through the years, there is only one Raymond Taylor.The best part about Taylor is that he is unique.

When he makes plays they have a Gretzky-like feel to them, that he is two or three moves ahead of his opponent. Hes averaging 6.3 assists per game but could be getting closer to 10 if he played for a better team where his teammates could catch and finish all the brilliant passes he throws.He is able to shoot and make a lot of three-pointers but it takes a little extra effort in his case. Thats not enough because hes too short so instead, he pressures full court circling his man like a cyclone and frustrating them into turnovers without tiring himself out.When you see him play, he immediately becomes your favorite player, I dont care who you are. Hes that exciting and that good and that tiny that you will never stop questioning your eyes or chuckling with delight as he blazes past taller opponents on his way to dropping 20 in your face every night.
