instant-impact UCLA guard, elite shooter, and championship-floor spacer
In the 2025-26 season, Gianna Kneepkens gave UCLA a polished, high-IQ two-way backcourt weapon: 12.8 points, 3.1 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.1 steals per game, while shooting 42.9% from three and finishing with a 2.4 assist-to-turnover ratio across 38 games. Her biggest differentiators are her efficiency, versatility, and calm under pressure—she can stretch defenses, make the extra pass, and defend with enough activity to fuel winning. She also brings proven big-game value, including 15 points in UCLA’s title-game rout, making her a very strong fit for teams needing a steady, mature connector rather than a volume-only scorer.
