Kirksey is a wiry and athletic combo guard that can space the floor from beyond the arc, plays with good pace and flow for the game, and has the bounce to impact both ends of the court. Kirksey had a strong showing at Cali Live with an average of 14 points per game, and a personal best of 18 points, connecting on 4 threes, in a loss to Bakersfield Christian to close out Day 1 of play. Kirksey has dynamic handles, keeps the ball on a string to survey the defense, has the moves to create off the bounce to attack openings in the defense, using the crossover combos, hesitation, jab-step, and fade-away to get open for open looks, has a great burst off the dribble, is accurate with the mid-range to the 3-point line with good body control through contact in the air, and is a crafty scorer in the paint, with the kiss off the glass, euro-step into the step-through, and up-and-under lay-ups to evade rim protectors in the paint. Kirksey moves fluid off the ball, gets to his shot spots, has a quick but effective release, and can light it up from the 3-point line with range, and makes great use of the pump-fake to attack open lanes when defenders over-pursue.
