Expert Analysis
Scott Hankamp | Prep Hoops Scout
I don’t know that I’ve seen a lead guard with a higher basketball IQ. He just feels the game so naturally. Taylor can score and create looks at any time. That being said, he’s at his best when his teammates are flowing with him and he can attack with the pass as well as his scoring. If you’re a talented wing, there’s not a better point guard to play with.

Let’s be real, Taylor is one of the truest, and best, coaches on the floor in the midwest. The young man is a fountain of knowledge and understanding when it comes to the game of basketball. He flows so well with his teammates, no matter their physical traits or skill level. A coaches job is to make the team as good and as successful as possible, and Talor does just that while on the floor.

Taylor hit the 1000 point plateau in The Carmody Classic where he was also named an MVP. It’s yet another mark on what could be considered an all time great high school career. Taylor managed to score all those points while still being possibly the best ball distributer in the state.

Have you ever watched Taylor play? If you have, I know you see the way that teammates respond to him. He’s the ultimate leader on the basketball court. Now, imagine him taking that leadership off the court as well. Taylor is the type of basketball player, and person, that peers want to stand next to when times get tough. Any generation could use more

Taylor was just doing Taylor things. He was grooving his game with his wings and making sure that open teammates got theirs. He had 20 points in the contest, but that seems like the most meaningless number. It’s the way that Taylor runs a team and understands the feel of the game that ultimately brings wins like this one.

Santa has to have reindeer that are leaders. Taylor certainly fits that mold. He makes players around him better and he’s the type of player that other players want to follow. Perfect for pulling the Michigan high school basketball sleigh.

Taylor is the leader of a talented team that has state title aspirations. He both scores and distributes at an elite level. Taylor holds the ability to not just find the open man, but actually pass them open. Taylor is a winner through and through and he knows how to get the most from his teammates, both of which can hold a ton of weight when determining who is named Mr. Basketball.

How can you not be thankful for Taylor? He’s a point guard through and through. Taylor doesn’t just set the table for his team, but he makes everyone around him better. He’s also as great of a young man as he is a basketball player.

Taylor is a special talent. He’s the the classic point guard that makes the players around him better. Taylor is a true student of the game, quite possibly holding the highest basketball IQ in the state. He plays such a beautiful style of controlled and efficient basketball, yet staying loose and free and letting his skills dominate the game. Taylor should be in any all Mr. Basketball conversations.

This one should come as no surprise. Honestly, he looked like a player that should be sitting at the Mr. Basketball announcements at the end of the season. Taylor has magnificent body control. This allows him to shot fake, go under the defender, and draw contact. Taylor is comfortable attacking or shooting from anywhere on the floor. Any time a defender stepped off him on Thursday, Taylor made them pay with his jumper. He does a great job utilizing the glass from mid range and he has eyes all over the floor.
