Kiki Rice is having a phenomenal senior year of basketball

Kiki Rice is in the midst of a breakout senior season. One that includes her right on the cusp of having a 50/40/90 season and putting her in the top 10 of most mock drafts. She is well on her way to being a top WNBA pick rounding out her UCLA career that started in 2022. Growing her game and getting better all four seasons. As a freshman she shot 41.1% from the field and struggled with her long range shot. Shooting 21.7% from 3-point range.

Rice has worked tirelessly on her game and improved every aspect. Almost doubling her 3-point percentage to 41.9% and bumping up her overall shooting to 50%. She sees the floor very well and plays very composed, creating a good backcourt with Charlisse Leger-Walker. As both are very good passers that set their teammates up. Rice has also become one of the best rebounding guards in the nation. Averaging 6.5 boards per night and getting out in transition to beat the defense.

After battling injuries last year that affected her game. Rice came back this year with a chip on her shoulder and is playing her best basketball ever. This UCLA team is the most talented it has ever been. Putting them in a position that they have never been in before. Chasing that championship banner and trying to get over the UCONN hump who are also as good as ever. Which is no surprise because they seem to always be at the top.

Rice on the season has shooing splits of 50/41.9/89.6, putting her close to getting the 50/40/90 line which is considered an elite line. She is also averaging 15.2 points, 6.5 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game. Helping lead the way for the Bruins to be one of the best offenses in the nation. While also being an elite defender. Most WNBA mock drafts have had her being in the 8-10 pick range. With the Washington Mystics being the most popular at the No. 9 pick.
