Kalista really showed up and played super well during Summer NIT. I was impressed with her ability to play at a high level especially with her offensive game. She runs a very quick ball to the outside and seems to always connect and power through the block or beat the block with how explosive and fast her game is. She does very well taking what the defense gives her though and just will see the openings as they are developing, she doesn’t need power all the time but can win with her court IQ and taking what is open.

Another great thing about her game is just how quick she is in her movement. She can pass a ball in defense or serve receive and has the speed to always get deep in a load to get a quality swing on the ball. She might be the fastest outside in terms of overall speed I have seen with her ability to move in that regard. That speed and footwork also helps in defense and serve receive as she is always getting to a good position to pass the ball and create the best angle for a pass. Her offense game alone puts her in a class of standouts, but her all around game made her an easy pick at Summer NIT for a standout.
