Avery Kelley brings hometown grit, steady guard play, and clear leadership value for Evansville
In the 2025-26 season, Avery Kelley has given Evansville a dependable backcourt spark, and her profile reads like a coach’s favorite: quick, composed, and team-first. She entered 2026-27 as a junior guard after missing much of the previous season with a knee injury, but she still showed real value as a creator and connector, with 8.0 points per game before the injury and a reputation for uplifting leadership. Her earlier numbers back the eye test, too: in 2024-25 she led the team in free-throw percentage at 84.3% and ranked among the Aces’ top assist-makers. Good fit? Absolutely—if you want poise, unselfishness, and toughness, Kelley checks the box.
