Expert Analysis
Paul Hernandez | Prep Hoops Scout
The 6-foot-5 wing/guard is a dynamic shot maker from the perimeter, is a high-level versatile defender, and can make plays for teammates when the defense converges on him. Killebrew has taken the next step to be one of the primary scorers for the Eagles this season, with some big time scoring performances in the early going of the season. However, that does not take away from the reality that Killebrew is at his best when he makes winning basketball plays and is not hyperfocused on just being a scorer. In the opening game of the event, Killebrew had 12 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals, and a block. That was followed by a game with 10 points, 6 rebounds, 3 steals, 2 assists, and 2 blocks to highlight his ability to fill up the statsheet. Killebrew has the length and height to defend bigger players in the paint, the agility, wingspan, and footspeed to stay in front of perimeter players, active hands to deflect passes or poke the ball out to generate steals, and is a shot blocker in the post and on the perimeter. Killebrew has solid handles, uses the crossover, toss cross, behind cross, and the spin-move to get his defender off balance, gets great lift on the jumper with accuracy from the mid-range to the 3-point line, is a creative scorer around the basket with the Euro-step, reverse, and up-and-under lay-ups to score amongst height, and is a threat to take flight at the rim in the halfcourt or transition setting. Killebrew has good court vision, makes good decisions with the ball in his hands, is a high-level rebounder that can find players up the court or cutting off the ball. He had a jumper in his second game that displayed the elite shotmaking Killebrew is capable of, as he went to the spin-move, reverse back, and back to the spin-move to connect on the fade away middy.

The 6-foot-5 wing/slasher can score the ball from 3-levels, is becoming a high-level shot blocker, and is a versatile defender that can defend in the post and on the perimeter. Killebrew will be relied upon this season to be one of the Eagles top scorers, if not the top scorer, and, from what I have seen over the past four months, Bakersfield Christian will go as he goes with the graduation of Gabe Gutierrez (currently at College of Sequias), who was the go to guy for the Eagles last season. Killebrew looked great in the Eagles home victory over San Luis Obispo, going for 22 points and a pair of threes, along with 7 rebounds and 2 steals. Killebrew has solid handles, uses the crossover, between cross, and behind cross to get his defender off balance, gets great lift on the jumper with high arc and accuracy from the mid-range to the 3-point line off the bounce, uses the pump-fake or hesitation to get by defenders over-pursuing him on the perimeter, has long strides and wingspan to score at the basket with the Euro-step, reverse, or up-and-under lay-ups, and is playing above the rim much more these days, becoming a lob threat in the half-court, as well as in transition. Killebrew has great timing to block shots from the weakside, the chase-down pin block, and the length and footspeed to close out and block shots on the perimeter. Killebrew is a tough on-ball defender with active hands, long arms, and good instincts to deflect passes or to jump passing lanes, which open up scoring opportunities in the open court. The ceiling for Killebrew is as high as anyone’s in the Section, and the key the next two years will be consistency on both ends of the court.
