Known primarily as a three-point shooter in high school and his first two years at Oregon, Taylor reinvented his game over the 2006 off-season, establishing himself not only as a slasher but also as a defensive specialist.As a result, Oregon head coach Ernie Kent has regularly assigned Taylor to guard the opposing team's best player.Taylor also rediscovered his three-point prowess during the 2006–07 campaign, and is currently connecting on 42.4% from beyond the arc.For his efforts, Taylor was named the team's Most Improved Player.

During the 2007 Pac-10 Tournament Championship game against the USC Trojans, Taylor poured in 32 points, making all 11 of his shots from the field in an 81–57 drubbing. He was a perfect 7 for 7 from the three-point line and 3 for 3 from the foul line in helping Oregon win their second Pac-10 Tournament Championship in the last five years.

Taylor's father Brian Taylor spent 10 years in the ABA and NBA, averaging 18.6 points per game. He was a nine-time ABA All-Star and the 1973 ABA Rookie of the Year.

He then moved to German Basketball Bundesliga the following season and played for Telekom Baskets Bonn.
