Jack Taylor was all over the basketball world lately because of his unbelievable scoring accomplishment in a single game. The only player who reached the 100-mark score is Wilt Chamberlain and he is an NBA legend. Jack is just a sophomore from Grinnell College with the height of 5'10". When current NBA stars like Bryant, Melo, Lebron, KD, etc., were asked on their opinion, the only response was unbelievable. Even in a computer NBA2k series, scoring more than a hundred is almost impossible, how much more in a single regular game. Anyways, when the stats were released, it was found out that he took 103 shots and 71 of them from beyond the arc. With around 50% accuracy, he was able to reach the score of 138 points.
Now, I wonder if ever he will be drafted in the NBA once he graduated. Well, we'll find out soon.

Wow! Jack Taylor is one of the prospects in the NBA future. Well, scoring 100 points or more in a game is already an achievement. He will be next rookie of the year in the future. I hope I could see him plying in NBA.

He can be the next rookie of the year because of his impressive shooting. He also got the skills as a point guard so we won't be surprised if he will drafted in the nba soon. Let's just hope he will not get an injury or worse, lost the will to play basketball.

WOW! I just saw the report and box scores and wow did he score a lot. Based from the comments of viewers, i think they're not surprised nor thrilled by this Division III performance. All they said was the defense is not that hard and blah blah. But when i saw the video of that game, i think its LEGIT. He does have skills and a VERY FAST TRIGGER. Although he only made 20+ shots out of 71 or 79, still his performance was amazing. I think he needs to have one or two more STATEMENT games just to shut reporters comments.

Yeah, this one is legit. Though we can say that the defense is weak but it still is very hard for a player to make that points in just 48 minutes of play. His teammates relied on him during that game and the ball was always passed to him. It's like his shooting the ball once in every 20 seconds.

That really was amazing. Not even an NBA player could do it in a single game. But maybe someone will even surpass this in the future.
