Ethan Taafe brings size, versatility, and veteran backcourt poise to HPU
In the 2025-26 season, Ethan Taafe is a 6'5" senior guard for Hawaii Pacific who gives the Sharks an uncommon mix of size, backcourt versatility, and international experience. HPU describes him as a player with “size, versatility, and international experience,” and notes his background as a multi-sport athlete who helped his high school win back-to-back championships and earn all-state honors twice. He’s more of a connective, team-first piece than a box-score monster, so his value shows up in defensive flexibility, toughness, and mature, low-drama reliability.
