A silky smooth player who has the ability to score from all areas of the basketball court. In game one Taylor knocked down a multitude of jump-shots. Some were two-point field goals, some were long distance threes. Taylor is a hard working player who makes all the necessary hustle plays to contribute to the team. He’s also a skillful ball handler who easily gets around defenders and makes plays. Taylor was great at drawing in defenders and dishing out passes to other teammates. He went on to finish the game with multiple threes and numerous scores in transition. On defense, he gave maximum effort in regard to forcing turnovers and being physical. Taylor is a great scorer who should easily adjust to the high school basketball scene.

Another talented incoming freshman at Franklin Community High School, Basler is our second Grizzly Cub to earn top performer honors. The 6’3″ guard shot the ball extremely well at the Prep Hoops Indiana Freshman Showcase. He looked comfortable making them on the move and has the positional size to get clean looks on the perimeter even when demanding tight defense and aggressive closeouts. There is definitely a projectable quality to his shooting ability.

We were very impressed with several young prospects from Franklin Community High School at the Charlie Hughes Showcase in June. This 6’3″ guard is definitely among their highest upside prospects. He is smooth with the ball in his hands, capable as a shooter, and has projectable athleticism. We are excited to have him at the upcoming Prep Hoops Indiana Freshman Showcase.
