Catches fire against Kentucky Kelly supplied 30 points (10-17 FG, 9-14 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal across 35 minutes during Saturday's 94-78 victory over Kentucky.

Impact It was a season-best scoring total for Kelly, who did most of his damage from distance. His nine three-pointers were his most since the season opener against Vermont when he logged seven, and he hadn't had more than four in a single other game this season. Auburn has arguably the most efficient offense in the country, and Kelly is just one of the options capable of going off on any given day.

Ice cold in win Kelly produced three points (1-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one steal across 26 minutes during Tuesday's 80-68 victory over Vanderbilt.

Impact Kelly's three points were easily one of his lowest totals on the season. He hit one three-pointer and that was it. This is coming off a 22-point outing in the loss to Florida, and this is just the fourth time since the new calendar year that Kelly has failed to hit double-digit points. He'll look to bounce back in what's shaping up to be the game of the year in college hoops as No. 2 Alabama hosts No. 1 Auburn on Saturday.

It was a well-rounded performance from a crucial player in the Tigers' back court.

Impact Kelly reportedly "couldn't even shoot the ball tonight" according to head coach Bruce Pearl as the result of a minor wrist injury, Nathan King of 247Sports.com reports, but he was so keen on helping the team defensively that he played through the injury. The 6-foot-6 senior was limited to a season-low 13 minutes in the contest, but all indications point towards him being ready to go in full against Duke next Wednesday.

Starting for Tigers Kelly gets the starting nod for Auburn against Kent State on Wednesday, Nathan King of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Kelly came off the bench in Auburn's first two contests, but still played significant minutes - 18 and 21 - respectively. He'll now get the chance to start, and with his 6-foot-6 frame, Auburn may be trying to take advantage of the fact that Kent State is one of the smallest teams in the nation.

Logs 15 points, five rebounds Kelly logged 15 points (4-8 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds and one assist across his 19 minutes during Auburn's exhibition game Friday against Florida Atlantic.

Impact A maximized Kelly is expected to be an above-average scorer and rebounder, considering he averaged 13.9 points on 36.9/32.1/73.3 shooting splits and 5.5 rebounds across his 32 games started for Georgia Tech's 2023-24 team. The question is if he will be maximized, considering his current role at best seems to be sixth man for Auburn's 2024-25 squad.
