4 Quotes by Taurean Temple

Will Roberts, who had played at Wilmington, and I worked together at the Delaware basketball camps. I knew Will from playing summer basketball with him a lot. He asked me what I was going to do. I actually had a baby on the way and had to decide on something. I sat down with coach Barker, and things took off from there.

I started varsity four years for coach Bender, and he was great to play for. Lee Robinson was the director at the Salvation Army and had me working on my ball-handling skills, shooting, defense. He helped me develop all parts of my game.

It was real tough to sit out, but Wilmington has been great to me since I came here. I practiced all year with the team, but couldn't play or travel with the team. I didn't let that discourage me.

I can play anywhere on the court. Going against bigger guys, I can often drive past them and get good shots. If a smaller guard is on me, I can turn my back, post them up and get good looks.
