Kiara Howard gives Dillard a steady backcourt engine with scoring upside
In the 2025-26 season, Kiara Howard has been a guard who can create off the dribble and keep the offense moving, averaging 6.0 points and 2.0 assists while playing 21.5 minutes per game. Her calling card is composure and distribution, and she’s shown enough touch at the line to suggest usable upside even when the shot isn’t falling. The current fit question is efficiency, not effort: she’s taking on real guard responsibilities, but the scoring has to sharpen for her to become a higher-impact backcourt piece.
