On the offensive side, he scored several times at the rim, event finishing through contact. If there was a shot contest, it did not faze him a lot of the time. He also knocked down a couple of free throws in the game and had a couple of assists. On the defensive end, he played good perimeter defense and had two steals, with one of them leading to an assist. The last area he impacted was him rebounding. He rebounded at a good clip for his position.

Just in one game, I recorded four steals. One of the steals led to an assist. His on-ball defense looked elite and helped force a lot of misses. The defensive possession is not done until you rebound the ball, which is what he did. He came away with one rebound after another, which led to several fast break points or assists.

They blew out both of their opponents, including in the championship game. He showed the ability to do a wide range of things on the court. He dominated the glass, grabbing one rebound after another. Several of these were offensive rebounds, which led to points for his team via finishing inside, drawing the foul, or finding an open teammate for an assist. Even when he was not grabbing offensive rebounds, he was finding ways to score inside with good backdoor cuts or positioning himself well. He flashed the ability to hit a short jumper. He made just as big of an impact on defense, where he blocked multiple shots, had a steal, and locked down the paint.

He scored at will inside, as he utilizes his height and athletic to make an impact. He would make great cuts, get in position on smaller defenders, and grab a ton of rebounds for second chance points. Not only did he score in these ways, he would come away with steals and finish in transition. On defense, he was an anchor, coming up with great shot contests and blocks.

He showed that he knows how to utilize his height and strong frame well. This included a variation of him getting open with cuts, running in transition a couple of times, and posting up. He showed solid footwork to be able to keep the smaller defender off balance before scoring over them or around them. There was one play that he lost his defender with a post spin. Where majority of his points came from was from second chance points. He dominated the glass and went to the bank with how many times he cashed in. There were a couple of times that he grabbed a rebound, offensive or defensive, and found his open teammate for an assist. His domination with his rebounding was on both sides of the ball. On defense, he was not a liability, but rather was far from it. He came away with a couple of blocks in the game, but forced way more misses with his big wing span and size. It was everything that you could have asked for by him, as all of this was in the championship game.","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_6_player_details_selected_featured_image":2381298,"_player_evaluations_6_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_6_player_details_player_name":"Ajay Taylor","_player_evaluations_6_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_6_player_details_graduating_class":"2029","_player_evaluations_6_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_6_player_details_height":"null","_player_evaluations_6_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_6_player_details_position":"","_player_evaluations_6_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_6_player_details_school":"","_player_evaluations_6_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_6_player_details_club_team":"Team4ever","_player_evaluations_6_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_6_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_6_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"Ajay Taylor made an impact on both ends of the court.
