Kevin "KJ" Maura Colón[1] (born July 6, 1995) is a Puerto Rican professional basketball player for Gigantes de Carolina of the Baloncesto Superior Nacional (BSN).

"[4] He began playing high school basketball in Puerto Rico and took part in youth national team camps, but because he only stood 5 ft 5 in (1.65 m) by the summer of 2012, he was given limited attention.

[5][6] Alvarez subsequently invited Maura to join his travel team, the Miami Tropics, for a tournament in Las Vegas that would be attended by over 100 college basketball coaches.

[5] In the fall of 2012, Maura began a two-year stint for the prestigious basketball program at Arlington Country Day School in Jacksonville, Florida, where he played under head coach Rex Morgan, a friend of Art Alvarez, and faced top-ranked recruits like Joel Embiid, Jabari Parker, and Andrew Wiggins.

[1][4][5] In his junior season, he averaged 10 points, 12 assists, and 3 steals per game, leading Arlington Country Day to a 30–4 record and top-15 national ranking.

He joined the College of Central Florida and had a strong season, earning junior-college All-America honors and leading the JUCO ranks with 9.6 assists per game.
