Chloe Kitts' role in South Carolina's successful season

Chloe Kitts is coming off her best season yet. The junior forward started in all but one game for South Carolina as she helped guide the team to an SEC Tournament title and a March Madness run to the national championship game.

Kitts served in a reserve role as a freshman but has started for the Gamecocks in the past two seasons. This year, she averaged 10.2 points, 7.7 rebounds (team-high), 1.9 assists and 0.7 steals per game, all increases from her sophomore season.

The star forward is a sharp shooter. She didn't find as much shooting success this season as the one before, but still shot 52.0%, including 33.3% from beyond the arc. Kitts knocked down 79.8% of her free throws, a significant increase from 68.9% as a sophomore.

Kitts has grown with each passing season and has become essential to the Gamecocks. She will look to hone her skill set further in her senior season at South Carolina.

Lindsey's favorite college coach of all time is Roy Williams. During her time attending UNC Chapel Hill and writing for The Daily Tar Heel, Lindsey was lucky enough to meet and speak with Williams a few times.
