Taylor finished another very successful professional basketball season this past weekend by leading Menorca Basquet to win the LEB Gold Championship in Spain. Taylor was the high scorer with 15 points, 6 rebounds with a valuation of “20.” In his five seasons of play in Spain Taylor has lead three different teams to advance to the ACB where the Euroleague teams compete.

Taylor’s performance was marked by a huge effort and rehabilitation. He suffered a serious injury last Fall that required surgery, physical therapy and many hours in the gym from November through March, when he rejoined the team and improved to his pre-injury condition.
