Elevate Elite added the sharpshooter within days of the scrimmage so she didn’t participate in the scrimmage. However, Kai did do an individual workout for over an hour prior to the scrimmage starting and she was impressive. She showed the shooting consistency and accuracy that has landed her the number one shooting guard in the state. Her ballhandling and stamina will prove and asset as she is very capable at the point guard.

Kai delivered one of the most impressive shooting performances of the weekend, establishing herself as a true perimeter threat. She consistently knocked down the corner three with a soft touch barely grazing the rim, which speaks to both her confidence and precision. Her shot mechanics are advanced, featuring a high, clean arc, tight rotation, and the elevation needed to create space and get her shot off against pressure. What stood out even more was her ability to complement her outside shooting with strong finishes at the rim. Kai attacked with purpose, showing body control and touch in traffic, making her a multi-level scoring option.
Defensively, she was just as impactful. Her timing, instincts, and competitiveness were on full display, highlighted by an impressive block against a 6’3” post player that immediately sparked a transition opportunity. Plays like that reflect not only her athleticism but also her willingness to compete on both ends of the floor. Overall, Kai’s combination of shooting efficiency, offensive versatility, and defensive playmaking makes her a high-level prospect with the ability to influence the game in multiple ways.

Jones plays with a strong feel for the game, maintaining her dribble while reading the floor and using screens effectively to attack downhill. She finds gaps, penetrates the middle, and uses polished footwork to create separation, finishing moves with a spin into a controlled pull-up jumper. An efficient scorer with great handles, she can also knock down perimeter shots consistently, including contested looks from beyond the arc.

Kai wasted no time heating up, knocking down three deep shots to help extend Team Takeover ‘s lead. Once the defense began to adjust, she showed her playmaking ability—attacking off the bounce, drawing defenders, and kicking it out to open teammates.
