Lakeridge guard Kaylee Bjorkgren Kaylee Bjorkgren SG Lakeridge | 2029 State OR is a high-IQ player with a pure stroke, and she’s just getting started. The freshman was a three-level scorer and netted 13 points in 3 quarters at the Lakeridge Jamboree. She’s the daughter of Nate Bjorkgren, assistant coach of the Portland Trailblazers. You can tell she is a coach’s kid and a student of the game because she was ready to go on Day 1. The freshman ran the point with great vision and passing, and moved really well off the ball. She knocked down the catch-and-shoot three and the deep pull-up middy, drove inside and finished at the rim, and scored in transition. She sold shot fakes and made crisp passes. She ran the floor and knew where to be on both ends of the court. She was a solid defender on and off the ball, helped, and ran back on defense to stop fast breaks. She was steady and didn’t hang her head or try to do too much when her team was behind. Bjorkgren will stand out in the competitive Three Rivers League this season.
