I recently got to watch Kennedi pretty close over the course of several games at Brawl at the Palms. She is playing 17U for HER Elite EYCL team two years up and was very impressive in doing so. Carter moves like a guard, with ease and fluidity at six feet tall with the ability to explode off the ground and finish, snatch rebounds out of the air, and score over defenders. She did a really nice job anticipating shots and passes on the defensive end as well as missed shots coming off the rim before getting into the area and securing the ball. Carter looked good with the ball in her hands in positions to score going and over defenders before finishing smoothly in the paint. She is a player who could easily find herself ranked even higher after the next update with continued stellar play.

Kennedi is a young player I have seen with Newton High School, a power in Georgia girl’s basketball over the last few years. She played against Layla Adams Layla Adams 6'4" | SF/PF Archer | 2027 State GA multiple times in region play as well as great competition in Insider Exposure events and the She Got Game Classic. I had seen flashes of what her potential could be with some very impressive moments on the court as a freshman. She has a really high ceiling with very good size, length, and athleticism. I saw the same flashes at the Brawl with Kennedi showing excellent footwork and agility on the wing and good finishing ability from 12 feet in shooting the ball out and inside the painted area. Playing at the level she does in high school and now playing up two years on an EYCL team only bodes well for her future. She has been playing against much older kids the last year and some very good ones. She now belongs in the group and when the times comes and she is playing kids her age, then it could be a serious problem for opposing teams. She is very skilled already, but I still believe her best playing days are way ahead of her. She could easily become a legit high-major college prospect in a few years.

Kennedi is a player with a lot of untapped potential. She has excellent size for a freshman and a very solid foundation of good offensive fundamentals. Her role on this team is to set screens for Newton’s fantastic guards and to be ready to score when the opportunity presents itself through the offense or getting offensive rebounds and put backs.. Carter has good skill and is smooth with her left hand. She has the ability to become dominant on the boards as she gets older and more experienced on the varsity level. Carter moves very well for a kid her size.

Carter was solid on the day. Showing she has the skills to score inside the paint. A player that knew how to post up and ask for the ball on the block. Great rebounder and knows how to catch it high and keep it high. Look for her to break on the high school scene early this season.
