Lindsay Corine Taylor (born May 20, 1981 in Poway, California) is a professional basketball player for the Phoenix Mercury in the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA).
Taylor attended high school in Chandler, Arizona, and later became famous during her NCAA career at California-Santa Barbara, playing center for their women's team. She also won a Silver Medal as a member of the United States 2003 Pan American Games basketball team.
The 6-foot eight inch tall (2.03 m) Taylor was one of the highly regarded rookies for the 2004 WNBA Draft. She was chosen by the Mercury, alongside higher-regarded Diana Taurasi.
Her first game was against the Houston Comets on June 1 of that year. She attempted one field goal, which she missed. Unfortunately for the Mercury, soon after her first field goal attempt, she was injured during another play in that game.
Taylor remained on the injured list, but was expected to return later in her inaugural WNBA season. In total, she would appear in just five games during the 2004 season, seeing limited action in those games.
