Taylor played pro basketball for five seasons, from 1928 through 1933. In his first pro season he played over forty games by sharing his considerable skills with six different teams. In later seasons, he played in two different versions of the National Professional Basketball League, failed forerunners of the National Basketball League that would be successful in the mid-1930’s.
