Utah's Brandon Taylor, BYU's Chase Fischer show respect after Jazz workout

SALT LAKE CITY — The BYU-Utah rivalry could use more moments like what happened Wednesday afternoon at the Utah Jazz’s practice facility.

Utah guard Brandon Taylor and BYU guard Chase Fischer competed on the basketball court, were all smiles afterwards and respectfully spoke of each other following their pre-draft workout for the Jazz.

“Brandon’s a good dude,” Fischer said. “He works hard. He’s a good player. I think we both have a mutual respect for each other. We didn’t even talk about (the rivalry). We’re cool.”

With a huge grin, Taylor admitted it was “a little fun, especially (because of) BYU” when asked about working out with familiar players, including Fischer and Washington first-round prospect Dejounte Murray.
