Kendrick is a high-IQ playmaker and a dynamic first-pass guard who orchestrates the game with an elite feel for spacing and tempo. His ability to dissect defenses, get to his spots, and see the floor with elite court vision makes him a true maestro with the ball in his hands. Whether he's threading a crafty dime through traffic or exploding past his defender to collapse the defense, Kendrick’s game is built on sharp instincts and fierce determination. His handle is tight, his vision is electric, and when the moment calls for it, he’s more than capable of making a play to shift the momentum.
This season, Kendrick averaged 7 points and 5 assists per game, but numbers only tell part of the story. His biggest improvement was stepping into a leadership role, commanding the floor as a vocal presence despite it being his first year on varsity. Thrown into big-game situations, he adapted quickly, proving he could run an offense and set the tone. As he heads into the offseason, his primary focus is developing a consistent floater, adding another layer to his already crafty offensive package. The most impactful part of his season was playing alongside a team he’s built chemistry with for years, reinforcing his love for the game.
Kendrick is hunting for the right AAU team to take his game to the next level. His top priority is gaining exposure on a bigger stage, and Made Hoops will be a key proving ground. His eyes are locked on the goal of becoming one of the top guards in his county next year, and every rep, every game, and every challenge ahead is fuel for his fire.
Off the court, Kendrick enjoys the game beyond just competition, whether it’s studying film, working on his craft, or spending time with teammates. Basketball isn’t just something he plays; it’s something he lives.
When dealing with adversity, Kendrick turns to prayer and then lets his response unfold on the court. He doesn’t just talk about handling adversity but attacks it. His mindset is built for the battle, fueled by defense, where his fierce energy disrupts opponents and sets the tone for his team. The best advice Kendrick has ever received is, “You have to crush someone’s dreams to achieve yours.” It’s a reminder that success comes with sacrifice and a relentless edge.
I assess that Kendrick’s game is a perfect fit for a college system that values floor generals who think the game at a high level. His ability to control tempo, distribute efficiently, and make plays in tight spaces translates well to the next level. His development as a leader and his ability to break down defenses are assets that any coach can build around. If he continues to evolve, particularly in his scoring ability and finishing package. Kendrick has the tools to be a game-changing point guard who elevates those around him.
