I like the type of player Taylor is. He had great energy all day and was constantly talking and having fun while playing during this showcase. He is a pass-first player who makes his teammates play a little harder off the ball. He is constantly looking for the next pass and open teammate. I wish he would look to the rim a little more when he gets the ball to see how he would be as a scorer.

Taylor was a standout at the Prep Hoops freshman showcase last August and also really impressed me with his Midwest Cincy MHC squad in the spring. A fluid mover on the wing, Taylor can change pace and direction when attacking closeouts and has the length to score at the rim. I also was impressed by his natural defensive instincts and how he moved without the basketball in the half-court. Moeller is stacked in the 2028 and 2029 classes so not sure how much we’ll get to see Taylor this winter but he has an extremely bright future ahead.

Midwest Cincy MHC has a really nice 15 U group and I caught them in a blowout victory to open up Midwest Mania. I liked how Taylor moved on the court, covering a lot of ground and fluidly changing directions. A wing who can handle the basketball and swing passes across the court, Taylor helps push the pace. Taylor was a standout at our Prep Hoops Freshman showcase and continued to impress in an organized 5 on 5 setting last weekend.
