Taurean Prince continues to shine
After a career high 38-point outing Sunday in a loss to the Bulls, Taurean Prince continues to be shooting lights out after a 25-point outing Tuesday. He also shows some flashy displays on the other side of the ball:

The second-year rookie out of Baylor is showing to be the pillar of GM Travis Schlenk’s young nucleus. In the last 10 games, Prince has shot 41% from the field and averaged 17.9 points per game. In a see-saw battle with Oklahoma City, he hit a three-pointer to tie the Thunder at 103 until Russell Westbrook and Jerami Grant iced the game with a 16-4 run to end the game.
Going into the upcoming game against Charlotte, Prince is averages 12 PPG and 3.7 RPG.
