A high-scoring shooting guard on the high school level, Kelly played in all but two games and saw his court time and contributions increase significantly late in his freshman season, averaging nearly 24 minutes over Tech’s final six games. He averaged 9.8 points and 2,5 rebounds over that stretch, did not turn the ball over, and hit 46.1 percent of his field goal tries (13-of-25 on threes). Kelly played more than 30 minutes in each of Tech’s final two games against Boston College and Louisville, making his first career start against the Cardinals in the ACC Tournament. He scored 16 and 19 points, respectively, in those two games, hitting 11-of-17 from the floor and 6-of-9 from three-point range combined. Kelly drained 21-of-35 three-pointers over his last 14 games, beginning with Clayton State, and he hit three triples in a game five times (1/29 vs. Miami, 2/5 vs. Clemson, 2/26 at Notre Dame, 3/2 vs. BC, 3/8 vs. Louisville).
