LIU’s Karly Klaer: a high-energy role player with multi-sport toughness
In the 2025-26 season, LIU forward Karly Klaer has been a low-usage but useful presence, averaging 0.4 points and 1.8 rebounds in 5 games while shooting 33.3% from the field.[1][2][8] Her value is less about box-score fireworks and more about versatility and grit: LIU lists her as a multi-sport athlete with volleyball, basketball, and track background, which usually translates to coordination, competitiveness, and coachability.[6][14] If a team needs a physical, team-first glue piece who can bring energy without demanding touches, she fits that profile well.[1][8]
