Kenzie Gardler brings Villanova a veteran shooter with high-IQ grit
Kenzie Gardler is a compact, experienced Villanova guard whose calling card has long been elite shooting feel, strong basketball instincts, and high-intensity play. Villanova’s roster notes describe her as a good ball handler with range that extends to the three-point line, and her 2019-20 season showed real efficiency before injuries slowed her momentum, as she shot 50.0% from three on 12-of-24 and 42.9% overall in limited action. The fit question is simple: if a team wants a steady backcourt connector who competes hard, spaces the floor, and understands the system, Gardler checks the box.
