Explosive guard who can swing a game with scoring bursts and clutch plays
In the 2024-25 season at LSU, Kailyn Gilbert averaged 9.1 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 1.6 assists in 37 games, and she flashed real late-game value with two game-winners and a 23-point outburst vs. Tennessee in February 2025. Her calling cards are downhill scoring, toughness, and sneaky defensive impact—she’s undersized but competitive, and that Sweet 16 block vs. NC State showed the kind of grit coaches love. The catch: she stepped away from LSU during the 2025-26 season for a family matter, so any team considering her fit should weigh both her proven SEC production and recent availability concerns.
