Jaden Taylor is Missouri Southern’s go-to bucket-getter with all-around guard value
In the 2025-26 season, Jaden Taylor emerged as Missouri Southern State’s offensive engine, leading the Lions at 17.8 points per game and adding 3.2 rebounds, 2.8 assists, and 81% free-throw shooting while earning All-MIAA honorable mention. He’s the kind of guard coaches love: efficient enough to score from multiple levels, strong at getting to the line, and steady enough to handle real creation duties. He also showed big-game juice with a career-best 37 points and multiple 30-point outings, making him a clear fit for teams needing a proven, high-usage scorer who can still make plays for others.
