Expert Analysis
Simmie Colson | Prep Girls Hoops Scout
Kelly blew me away last month see evaluations here for how much she has added, yet the breeze was still strong at the event. Her energy on both ends never lets up. @playerrimedies noted how much stronger she has become, but going AFTA, everything always catches my attention, be it rebounds or loose balls. Her “stop and pop” jumper is going to be a problem for defenders, as well as her UPS to release in the set, and she’s finishing even stronger off the dribble

Since the 2025 PGH Freshman Showcase (read evaluation here), she has clearly added muscle mass, but perhaps even more noticeable is the increased elevation on her shot. The added strength has helped her look more physically confident, while her ability to get off the ground and elevate over defenders has become a real difference-maker. Kelly showed development in both her physical presence and shot-making ability.

Kelly showed up and out at the PRUF Certified Guard Camp, and what she did was enough for me to elevate her game see evaluations here Her “on the court” progression, her explosiveness off the dribble, and just playing with even more confidence in pressure situations- JUST DID IT for me

Kelly showed signs when I evaluated her via video, and catching up with her last season got her in the rankings, but one more time, I love “on the court” progression and seeing her continue to elevate her game had me smiling. She’s more aggressive on both ends, the havoc she created defensively led to turnovers, but her explosiveness off the dribble got her easy baskets. The “stop and pop” jumper in transition was a problem for defenders, and let me drop #THROWBACK because she followed her shot

Kelly was unknown until her dad hit me up, saying she wasn’t being noticed months ago, so with the magic of video, she made Player Spotlight on my website see evaluation here. I caught up with her accidentally at the PBR Super 64, see evaluation here, and the video didn’t do her justice. @playerrimidies got a chance to check her out at the PGH Freshman Showcase, and here’s her take see evaluation here

Kelly pushes the ball in transition with purpose, looking to get teammates involved and keep the pace high. Showed confidence from deep, rhythmically stepping into long-range jumpers and catching fire from three in the second half. Her athleticism ties it all together, making her a dynamic threat in multiple phases of the game.

Kelly did a good job of setting the defender up using a deceptive first step and a slight HEZ to get by the defender, yet she also showed explosiveness to score, so mixing it up was nice. She also understands positioning, which helped her outrebound taller players; her “baseline to baseline” pressure was solid, and she played the passing lane
