2029 Only Showcase MN 

Kaia was one of the best rebounders seen the entire showcase and got her team multiple opportunities and looks at the basket. When she got going downhill quickly with the ball in her hands and put a lot of pressure on defenders to try and stay in front of her, she also showed off good physicality to overpower opponents for close-range buckets. She was also a great vocal leader who you can hear out on the court talking to her teammates or talking on defense. Her area of opportunity would be to continue to work on finishing with her offhand inside the paint. She showed she can get two feet into the paint almost at will and continuing to work on being automatic with both hands and finishing through contact will make it even more difficult to try and contend from scoring.
