FSU newcomer makes an early statement against Auburn
Florida State guard Kam Taylor needed only one preseason exhibition to provide an early glimpse of why his name could become increasingly interesting in NBA draft conversations this season. The 6-foot-7 junior led the Seminoles with 19 points in an 82-71 victory over the Auburn Tigers on Wednesday night at the Ballin’ in Boutwell event in Birmingham. Taylor added four rebounds and an assist while shooting 4-of-8 from the field and a perfect 10-of-10 from the free-throw line, helping FSU overcome a five-point halftime deficit by outscoring Auburn 50-34 over the final 20 minutes. The stat line was impressive. The way Taylor produced it might have been even more encouraging. Taylor consistently applied pressure at the rim, earned trips to the free-throw line and flashed the combination of size, speed and explosiveness that has generated considerable excitement inside the program. His biggest moment came on a thunderous second-half poster dunk over Auburn’s 7-foot-1 Bukky Oboye, easily one of the highlights of Florida State’s preseason opener. Worth watching again … and again … and again. 😤 @kamerontaylor23 pic.twitter.com/LFFftvLGcz — Florida State Men’s Basketball (@FSUHoops) October 15, 2026 That athleticism is hardly a surprise to FSU head coach Luke Loucks. “Kam Taylor
