And for today's article, we will continue with the seventh of nine people to wear the No. 41 jersey, guard alum Tyshawn Taylor. After ending his college career at Kansas, Taylor was picked up with the 41st overall selection of the 2012 NBA Draft by the Portland Trail Blazers.
The Hoboken, New Jersey native played the only two seasons of his pro career with Brooklyn instead after a near-draft night deal.
During his time suiting up for the Nets, Taylor wore only jersey Nos. 41 and 10 and put up 2.9 points per game.
