#6: As the Prep Girls Hoops 2029 AAU Breakout Player of the Year, it’s clear that Willis is on a major upward trajectory. The quick, crafty guard, who played up one year for the Minnesota Fury this summer, is an offensive dynamo who can hit shots off the catch-and-shoot or just as easily create her own look off the dribble. Kiera brings a calm, business-like demeanor to the court, while also playing with a fiery, competitive spirit. The Benilde-St. Margaret’s freshman has an innate feel for the game, a tireless work ethic, and a serious amount of finesse. There is no doubt that Willis will be a crucial component for the Red Knights this winter as a 9^th grader.

Willis is as solid a two-way player as you’ll find in the 2029 class. At 5’8″, her long, strong frame allows her to impact the game from anywhere on the floor, scoring both from deep and at the rim. She handles the ball effortlessly and consistently makes plays that elevate her team. Defensively, her versatility shines – she can body up in the paint while also sliding her feet to contain on the perimeter. With BSM producing so much talent in recent years, Willis is yet another key piece in that tradition.

One of the most promising young guards in Minnesota’s 2029 class, Willis’ game is a thing of beauty. Balancing both athleticism and skill, the Benilde 8th grader excels on the offensive end. She can knock down shots from outside or use her crafty handles to get downhill. Regardless of how she chooses to score, the shifty guard does it with finesse. Currently playing up a year with the 2028s, Kiera’s game also includes a calm, cool, and collected demeanor as well as a tireless work ethic.
