Anaheim Arsenal News Release


ANAHEIM, CA (Feb. 18, 2009) - The Anaheim Arsenal, proud affiliates of the Los Angeles Clippers and Atlanta Hawks, announced that they have signed guard Marcus Taylor while releasing forward Bryson McKenzie.

Taylor, a 6'3", 195 pound guard out of Michigan State, was the second round pick (#52 overall) in the 2002 NBA Draft by the Minnesota Timberwolves. He participated in the Timberwolves' training camp but was released before the regular season began. He has extensive professional experience with stints in France, Greece, CBA, and the Albuquerque Thunderbirds and Tulsa 66ers of the NBA Development League.

While playing at Michigan State, Taylor was only the second player in Big Ten history to lead the conference in scoring (17.7) and assists (5.0) in a single season. Taylor was named First Team All-Big Ten in his sophomore season and was a member of the 2001 USA Young Men's World Championship that won the gold medal in 2001.

"I'm excited about the opportunity to have Marcus join us in Anaheim," head coach Sam Vincent stated. "He is a guy who grew up in my hometown and went to my alma mater that grew up earning a lot of accolades and titles but who has remained humble the entire way."
