Expert Analysis
Byron Xerxes Livsey | Prep Girls Hoops Scout
What KJ brings to a program can’t be found in every kid, and the fact that she came back to push a deep playoff run for her Dolphins shows the drive and commitment she has. She still showed plenty of glimpses of the KJ we all know. Excited to see where she ends up for her collegiate career.

KJ should hopefully be coming back this year from a summer setback, and when she does, you’ll get to see the heart and energy of that Whitney Young program. On both sides of the ball, KJ demands attention. Defensively, you want to keep your best guard away from her, because it will be a long night. On the offensive end, you’re going to get a player who can seamlessly bounce between a playmaking role and a scoring role.

KJ is the heart of whatever five she’s running with. There’s no relenting in her game, as she gives her all on both sides of the ball. Offensively, she finds ways to score, whether it’s through slips, leaks, or utilizing her handle to get to the rim, along with shooting short jumpers. Defensively, she doesn’t back down and willingly takes on any matchup challenge.

KJ has shown major improvement in the last couple of games that I’ve witnessed. The confidence is present, the aggression on both sides of the ball is there, and the decision making has improved as well. A big second half season is ahead for her.

You’re perfect off ball guard. KJ has that defensive mindset but also has the ability to get hot for 8+ on any given night. She can make the pull up midrange, and finishes at the rim with contact and gets loose on the fast break. Her energy and stamina are top tier and she puts pressure on the opponent in multiple ways, but especially on the defensive side.
