Isaiah Taylor is answer to the Rockets’ backcourt depth question

LAS VEGAS — The Rockets are 2-1 at Las Vegas NBA Summer League 2017, and that’s largely because of two young men: Troy Williams and Isaiah Taylor.

The two sophomores each had their third straight impressive game Monday, maybe their best game yet, leading the Rockets to a 99-90 win over the Phoenix Suns, who have three top 10 picks on their roster, including future All-Star (probably, he’s really good) Josh Jackson.

Williams and Taylor showed toughness, basketball IQ and superior athleticism, and it didn’t matter where their opponents where drafted or how much their contracts are for.
