Kelly struggled to get consistent minutes throughout her career but averaged 11.6 minutes per game this season, a career-high. Much of last season was spent behind former Tiger LaDazhia Williams, where she averaged just 5.5 minutes a game. Without another true center on the roster this season, Kelly doubled her playing time.
