The 6-foot-1 sophomore earned First-Team All-State honors as well as being named the Most Valuable Player in the Big Eight Conference based on his 18 points per game and 47%, 39% and 84% shooting respectively. He went to the foul line 147 times this past season.
By a wide margin, he led the Bear Cubs in assists with 107 (versus 29 turnovers), in rebounds with 160 in 31 games and was second on the team in steals with 29.
Santa Rosa went 26-6 this season, finishing first with a 14-1 record in conference play.
Out of the Arizona prep ranks, Taku came to the Bear Cubs because his coach there thought he was overlooked and wanted to find a good fit for him. This according to Craig McMillan, the Santa Rosa head coach and former backcourter at Arizona.
McMillan described his player as "kind of a combo guard and a good one-on-one scorer."
McMillan also said Taku just turned 19 and is still physically developing.
Congratulation to Taku for his earning a paid education at the next level.
