Kelsey Bess gives Canisius a steady, low-drama guard with real starter value
In the 2025-26 season, Kelsey Bess has been a reliable junior guard for Canisius, appearing in 24 games with 13 starts and averaging 3.2 points and 2.2 rebounds while shooting 81.8% from the free-throw line. Her value is less about flash and more about doing the little things: she’s a 5'10" guard who can chip in as a connector, rebound from the backcourt, and give the Griffs steady minutes. If your team needs a mature, versatile, defense-minded guard who plays with grit rather than swagger, Bess fits the bill.
