Jed Tai

Prep Hoops Lead Scout

The evolution of the game of Kalish continues this off-season. The Southridge senior has always been a high-energy and physical guy on the defensive end who does all the little things, but with the Cascade Kings at the Super 24 we saw some assertiveness with his offensive game, both getting to the hoop and finishing and shooting the perimeter jumper.

Kalish, a skilled shooter, knocked down shots from the perimeter and mid-range with consistency. He’s a team-first player who brings energy, communicates well, and embraces competition. A solid athlete, he moves well on both ends and contributes as a capable defender. Nikko finished with 12 points, showing his ability to contribute within the flow of the game. Kalish’s toughness, vocal leadership, and willingness to compete make him a valuable piece and a dependable presence on the floor.

The talented combo guard does a little bit of everything for the Skyhawks. Some of his teammates garner more “love” at times, but Kalish is really the glue that holds them together. Versatile player that can play both guard spots, is explosive in transition, & really defends on the perimeter.
