Taylor is the other dynamic guard for Friends and the tandem of he and Mason complement each other in a positive manner. Taylor is a point of attack, downhill threat who can maneuver through traffic and finish with craft around the basket. This isn’t to say he can’t find his mark from deep because over the summer he proved as a capable shot maker both off the catch and off the bounce as defenses adjust to his ability to touch the paint. He and Mason have sound cohesion and do a great job of playing to each other’s strengths.

Taylor improved his ranking from No. 73 to No. 66.

Mason’s backcourt mate, Troy Taylor Troy Taylor 6'3" | CG Friends School Of Baltimore | 2027 State MD , is the other dynamic piece for the Quakers this season. He’s been productive for years now in the MIAA B Conference and should take his game (and production) to new heights as Friends gears up for a run. Taylor has ability to play on or off the ball, but as games get tight, typically takes over as the primary initiator. When he’s off the ball he’s extremely effective on catches to attack closeouts. He’s twitchy, able to use counters on the fly and can score it in bunches with balance from all three levels.
