NAIC: In a weekend that seemed to showcase strong and physical perimeter play, Gordon stood out among the crowd. Standing 6-0, the left-hander exploited defenders time and again by getting into the paint and creating scoring opportunities. While she sometimes is upright when she puts the ball on the floor, there are times that it almost seems to draw defenders up too tight and allowing her penetration. Her ability to spin off physical opponents puts her in a position to seal them behind or beside her and give her clean looks or easy passes. She's active and aggressive in her attack but there are times that she seems somewhat unsure what to do without the ball in her hands. On a couple of occasions she went to the block and posted up with some positive results and has the potential to tinker around as a forward in a small lineup. Defensively she seems to enjoy using her physical strength, particularly on ball. She'll need to be more consistent in her effort at that end of the floor but her potential is limited only by what she's willing to do. (Lewis)

Nike Regional Skills Academy-April 09: North Hall forward Kira Gordon plays most effective from the high post where she uses her quickness to maneuver past defenders. Once she is at the basket, she a big-time finisher. She'll need to improve her shooting range and stroke to complete her high-post arsenal. At 6-feet, she rebounds well out of her area, but she needs to improve her ballhandling -- especially with her right.
