Expert Analysis
Alyx White | Prep Girls Hoops Scout
12.2 RPG. Taylor is very long and she can elevate to grab rebounds over everyone else on the floor. When she grabs them on the offensive end, she’s able to get quick put-backs. On the defensive end, she can grab them and then push the pace in transition.

Read EvaluationAlyx White | Prep Girls Hoops Scout
Taylor has gotten better and better every single season. Last season, she was one of the top frontcourt players in the highly talented 7th Region. She is Ballard’s leading returning scorer and rebounder after averaging 15.3 ppg and 9.1 rpg as a junior. Teams would try to double team her and she would still find ways to score on them. Taylor does a great job elevating over defenders to get her shot off, but her full mid-range game and her ability to finish at the rim are also strengths in her game. Taylor is a very long and athletic player. She crashes the boards strong and can be extremely hard to keep off of the glass. Expect Taylor to average a double-double this season.

Taylor has proven to be a tough defensive assignment for opposing teams. She’s long and athletic, and she uses those strengths to her advantage. Taylor can elevate over defenders to finish tough shots. Teams try to double or triple team her and she still manages to find a way to put the ball in the basket. Taylor finishes well at the rim, but she also has a strong mid-range game that’s really tough to stop. She can finish through contact as well. One of the biggest strengths in Taylor’s game is how well she stays with it on plays that appear to have nothing there. She doesn’t give up and that typically ends with her coming up with a bucket. Taylor is also extremely hard to keep off the glass and should average a double-double throughout her senior season.
