Kale is a coach’s kid who understands the game at a high level and puts in the extra time to keep improving. After a strong offseason, he has clearly elevated his game. A gifted shooter and talented offensive player, Kale also impacts the game on both ends of the floor. He moves well within the flow of play and consistently makes timely, winning plays. With his skill set and work ethic, Kale is poised for a breakout season for MOPO.

WHY?

He played well in both club ball (JVT) and summer hoops with the Tigers. Kale has the ball in his hands a ton, is a good decision maker, and is a great leader. Knudsen has a more consistent pull-up middy and is upgraded as a 3-shooter. His strength is also elevated. Knudson and the Tigers should have a nice hoops season. Kale will have his eyes on the prize, stripes will be in motion!

Kale missed some shots and opportunities that he normally makes, or he’s making second or third team if they fall for him. He still made an impact in other areas. As always, he was a steady and sound defender with defensive IQ. A good ball-handler that pushed pace in a steady manner. He gave the ball up to setup his teammates for buckets. A winning and unselfish type of player that teams need.

Kale is as solid as ever. Plays a mistake-free game, but is also a major threat as a scorer and playmaker. A smooth three-level scorer. Handles the ball well and pushes in the open court.
