“Kinney is a scoring and playing screen that is flexible and versatile with his attack. He is a scoring threat with multiple levels with a creative and fresh handle to come to his advanced pull-up game or pressure on the edge. He can get up to end when he has momentum, and is a Layup of a little more Lay-up of a Layup of a Lay-up of a Lay-up of a Lay-up of a Lay-up of a Lay-Up. Enough in a good rhythm.
“Although Kinney has recently led more of a scoring guard, he also has good natural instincts as a passerby, on average 5 assists per game in both OTE & 3SSB. He is great in drive-and-kick actions, can make pick-and-roll lectures, and understands how she is currently not making the ball in the rare situation.
“Defensively, he is good with his hands (1.3 steals in 3SSB Play) and showed flashes of being able to inflate ball screens when he is completely involved, which is not yet completely consistent. He is also a good rebound-guard (5.8 per game). Physically, while he plays a little more than 6-foot in his game. ‘
