Kiki Rice is UCLA’s steady engine, scoring with efficiency and elite playmaking
In the 2024-25 season, Kiki Rice averaged 12.8 points, 5.0 assists, and shot 48.5% from the field and 36.5% from three, while leading UCLA in assists and ranking as its second-leading scorer[1][5]. Her value goes beyond the box score: she plays with poise, attacks mismatches, and has the kind of two-way guard feel that coaches love because she can organize an offense without hijacking it[1][4]. A shoulder surgery in 2026 is a real context note, but her bounce-back story and upward efficiency suggest a high-floor, high-IQ fit for teams needing a primary connector who still scores[4].
