Taylor is one of the strongest finishers around the rim and can also battle on the boards with anybody.

His ability to score on all three levels has been impressive throughout the weekend for Central Florida Heat. Mathieu can also utilize his size and get to the front of the rim with a quick first step. His ability to jump into the passing lanes has also been worth noting as he is an impact player on the defensive end.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":1971714,"_player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"Rocco Lamuno","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"6'4u0022","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"77246","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"Ravenwood","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"D13 Elite","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_2_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"The 6-4 point guard continues his ability to be a score-first guard after putting up a game-high 34 points in a win over Elite Hustlers 2024. He followed up with a 28-point performance in a win against Ballers Elite Academy 2025. Lamuno played with complete control and pace throughout the game and his game is starting to take a leap to a brand new level.
