Makenzie Kelly shows off her excellent court vision every time she steps on the court. She has a way of attacking the gaps making defenders close in around her as she makes the dish to her teammates for their own buckets. She can take it all the way to the hoop herself, too, even battling contact when needed. She has some nice range with her shot, too, making sure opponents pay the price for giving her some space. Additionally, she does a nice job pushing the tempo making some nice passes up the court for fast break assists.

had a nice crossover getting some space, and she knocked down her shot from deep. She read her opponents well knocking the ball away, grabbing the steal, and pushing it up the court for a fast break. She is sneaky on both ends being able to come in for the steal or move past her defender.

was constantly moving on the offensive side of the ball directing her teammates where to go. She can handle the ball driving hard to the basket, or she can set herself up around the perimeter finding the openings to get the pass and shoot. She’s a tough defender, too, staying in the face of her opponents.
