Sophomore forward Jeffery Taylor will return to Vanderbilt for his junior season despite projections that have him going in the first round of the 2010 NBA draft.

?If I went this year I think I would be late first round or early second round depending on how I do in workouts,? Taylor said. ?I put some thought into it. But listening to Coach (Kevin) Stallings and my dad, I feel like it?s a better decision to stay in school and work on my game.?

Taylor was ranked 50th in RealGM's most recent Top 100 for the 2010 NBA Draft.
