Oregon Daily Emerald: Who’s been the hardest person to guard in your career?
Bryce Taylor: When I was a freshman it was Deron Williams from Illinois. This year it’s Nick Young from USC. They play really hard and Nick especially. He’s real skilled and quick off the dribble. He’s tough to guard because he stays moving without the ball.
ODE: What’s the weirdest message or request you’ve received on Facebook?
Taylor: I get a lot of people from all over the country claiming that they’re Duck fans and they want to send something out to me to sign. Random stuff like that. I try to respond to the people that seem cool.
ODE: Do you miss your old haircut at all?
Taylor: No, I think I look better this way. Sometimes I look back and I’m like ‘What was I thinking?’
ODE: Does it help your game at all?
Taylor: Probably not but it helps my image, just as far as people taking me seriously.
ODE: If you could be another Oregon athlete for a day who would it be?
Taylor: Jonathan Stewart because he’s real buff. I want feel what it’s like to be that buff. He comes into the weight room with a cut-off shirt and makes everyone stop lifting weights. If I could be one-fifth of his buffness, I’d be happy.
ODE: What’s the worst smell in the locker room?
Taylor: Churchill Odia’s locker. I don’t know what it is about him, but it’s funky.
