a long, active forward who brought rim protection and rebound energy
In the 2006-07 season, Lorenzo Taylor was a 6-foot-6 forward for Western Illinois who started 25 of 30 games, averaged 3.8 points, 3.7 rebounds, and led the Leathernecks with 25 blocks—so the appeal is clear: length, defensive disruption, and hustle plays that don’t always show up in a box score.[1][2] He also showed a useful inside-out hint to his game, shooting 47.5% from the field, and his best lines included 10 points, 11 rebounds, and three blocks, which points to a frontcourt glue guy with shot-blocking juice and board-crashing instincts.[1][3]
