INTRODUCTION
Jachai Taylor at the NCAA level was recruited to Murray State and played alongside Ja Morant before transferring to Queens, where he shared the court with less renowned NBA star teammates but high-level players like Kenny Dye and Jamari Smith. During his pro years, he played in Canada, made a brief appearance in the G-League, and then returned to the BSL where he won the Sixth Man of the Year title in the last season.
Jachai Taylor is a swingman with great athletic abilities and dynamism, he moves very well off the ball and is capable of finishing at the rim decisively. He is a good three-point shooter (39% on 3.1 attempts) in catch and shoot situations, even coming off screens. He needs to improve on managing possession and have a better understanding of game situations. Despite having great athleticism on defense, he doesn’t have a big impact, lacks a bit of motor, and can be more aggressive. He is a strong presence in rebounding for his role. He is quality player with good professional experience. Jachai “Turbo” Taylor would be a high-level addition to any team in a European entry-level league.
