The Milton native is a competitive kid who makes plays on both ends of the floor. Buttchen is a multi-sport athlete who plays with an edge. She’s not the most physically imposing player you’ll find, but she’s willing to be physical and make opposing guards uncomfortable. She can score from all three levels, and is a player who can swing any game she plays in for the Red Hawks.

Buttchen, an incoming senior, for Milton, is having a great offseason and further solidifying her reputation as one of the better finishers in the state. Showing true “three-level” scoring ability, Buttchen has continued to impress with her ability to get to her spots, whenever she wants, and finish seemingly everything mid-range and in including a nice bag of floaters, stop-and-pop jumpers, and crafty finishes while absorbing contact. Coming off of a terrific junior campaign, where she averaged 14.9 ppg and was 1st Team All-Conference in the Badger Large, Buttchen looks like she has found another gear.

I’ve liked the Milton guard for a while, and have always loved the edge she plays with on both ends of the floor. Buttchen is a player who can take a game and force everyone else to bend to what she’s doing in the best way possible. She can score from all three levels and can get to her spots whenever she wants. However, her ability to defend at the point of attack and force opposing guards out of their rhythm can change the course of a game.

A common theme among multi-sport athletes at the high school level is their competitiveness, and Buttchen is no different. The Milton native has been a part of successful programs in her three years in high school thus far, and has contributed at a high level on the basketball court. She’s a two-way player who can handle the ball and score from all three levels. Buttchen has the tools to thrive at a small school if she chooses to play basketball in college.

The Milton native has been a significant part of the Red Hawks’ emergence as a successful program over the past few seasons. Buttchen hunts her shot and can score the ball from all three levels. She’s a solid athlete who competes on the defensive end of the floor. Regional programs should make time to see her play with her Team Herro group at some point this AAU season.

I was impressed with Kylee, not so much when she had the ball in her hands, where she was highly effective, but also when she was cutting to get open. Her ability to find the correct angles, coupled with strong hands, helped her finish over and through traffic, with either hand, drawing several fouls on the defense. Coming off of a season where she shot 111 free throws, I expect that number to only grow!

Buttchen was the offensive key to her team on day 1. She’s aggressive and fearless on every drive and knows when to attack and when to have patience. Plays with a ton of fire and never stops moving. Being one of the smallest players on the floor, she was a major threat on the boards.
