Nelson had been recommended to us repeatedly throughout the summer, and after finally watching her play, the praise made perfect sense. The Silver Bay guard may measure only around 5’5, but she plays much bigger thanks to an athletic build, quick feet and a high-horsepower motor. Nelson immediately set the tone when we watched by knocking down the game’s first basket, a smooth three-pointer that showcased her shooting touch and range. From there she impacted nearly every possession with her hustle, defensive instincts and basketball IQ. Kinley consistently anticipates plays before they develop, makes smart passes and competes with infectious energy. A three-sport athlete, Nelson brings toughness, skill and leadership to the floor. Kinley scored 51 points this weekend, the fifth tournament this season she has put up those kind of numbers.
