Kazner is a sniper with serious swagger and a hunger to evolve into a complete offensive force. He plays the game with confidence, fearless shot selection, and the kind of natural scoring instincts that can take over a game. With unlimited range and an aggressive fire attacking the rim, Kazner forces defenses to constantly make adjustments because when he’s in rhythm, there’s not a spot on the court he can’t score from. He brings a fearless attitude to the floor and thrives in the moment, whether he’s pulling up from deep, exploding to the basket, or knocking down a tough middy against strong competition. What separates Kazner is his ability to play through pressure with a calm swagger while still delivering clutch plays when his team needs it most, with ice in his veins.

This past season, Kazner posted 200 total points while averaging 8 points per game on strong efficiency, shooting 55.5% from the field, 35% from three (36/103), and over 60% on two-pointers. He also took 12 charges, showing he's not just scoring but sacrificing for the team. His biggest improvement came defensively, especially on-ball, and he began showing he could consistently put up points against varsity-level competition. Now, he’s focused on becoming a leader, especially with five seniors graduating, and building into a more complete threat on both ends. His goals for the offseason include tightening his handle, elevating his defensive intensity, and owning his role as a leader both on and off the court.

Kazner will be playing for Josh Huestis Elite this AAU season, guided by former NBA player Josh Huestis, and is ready to prove he belongs. With a major tournament in Chicago on the horizon (July 18–20), he’s aiming to turn heads, make a name for himself, and catch the attention of college programs. The fire that fuels him comes from the thrill of pulling up from deep and battling against tough competition. He handles adversity by staying composed, knowing the game is all about runs, and staying ready to respond every time. The best coaching advice he’s received is, "Be confident and shoot the ball". That confidence continues to shape his game and his identity.

I assess that Kazner is a dynamic shooter with a strong frame, high basketball IQ, and a scorer’s mindset. His deep shooting range, touch around the rim, and composure under pressure make him a dangerous offensive weapon and a player who fits into any system with spacing and tempo.

As he builds leadership skills, strengthens his handle, and locks in defensively, Kazner’s potential to evolve beyond just scoring. With the work he’s putting in and the confidence he plays with, expect stock to continue to rise moving forward and emerge as a legitimate all-around threat with next-level potential. If he is in the gym its in his range and he can stretch the defense then explode right past them. Kazner is a dynamic athlete and rising star you wanna lock in now. Basketball is alive and well in Montana. Stay tuned as he is just getting started.
