Taylor is a great story - but it's not like he's some this young up and coming superstar. He's 26 - not old by any means and, same as Irving, probably hasn't reached his potential. But how does Taylor get a chance to continue to develop when Irving doesn't?
The best player deserves to play. It is Taylor's turn. Irving hasn't done enough to keep playing every game that Kipper has missed.
