Expert Analysis
Danyle Bowers | Prep Girls Hoops Scout
Kenzie is a senior wing for Allendale who I believe could be in for a breakout season after putting together an impressive spring and summer with West Michigan Drive . I had the opportunity to watch her compete throughout the offseason, and she showed the ability to put points on the board in a hurry, including some big performances where she reached the 20-point mark. One of the things that stands out about Kenzie’s game is how well she runs the floor, consistently getting out in transition and putting herself in position to finish around the basket. She also has the ability to light it up from beyond the arc, giving her a nice inside-outside scoring combination that can make her difficult to defend. Kenzie also has an effective ball fake that gets defenders off their feet, allowing her to blow by them and attack the basket. It’s another element of her offensive game that makes her a tough matchup, as defenders have to respect both her perimeter shooting and ability to get to the rim. Defensively, Kenzie uses her length to her advantage, making her presence felt and creating challenges for opposing players. I really like the offensive confidence she showed throughout the offseason, and I think that could carry over into her final high school season. If her performances from the spring and summer are any indication of what’s ahead, Kenzie could be ready to take her game to another level and become a major contributor for Allendale this winter.
