steady NIU guard with Chicago toughness and playmaking upside
Lataevyon Taylor is a 6-foot sophomore guard at Northern Illinois who averaged 4.2 points, 1.9 assists, and 0.8 rebounds per game in the 2024-25 season at Western Oklahoma State before joining the Huskies.[5] He brings backcourt experience, a compact frame, and Chicago grit, with the kind of ball-handling and setup ability that can help stabilize a team’s offense.[5][9] If you need a guard who can organize possessions and compete with edge, he’s an intriguing fit; if you’re hunting for a high-volume scorer, he’s still more “connector” than headline act.[5][9]
