2024 Draft Profile - Tyler Kolek

Kevin O'Connor - The Ringer - June 17th: "High-feel point guard who can play quickly, slowly, and at every speed in between, both out on the break and in the half-court. He uses his dribble to create angles for perfectly timed passes to cutters and shooters."

NBA Draft Room - June 16th: "A true floor general with an elite feel for the game and a great 3pt shot. Should be an immediate impact player at the next level and a great pick for a team looking to compete next year."

Sam Vecenie - The Athletic - June 5th: "Kolek is a crafty guard. I’m not convinced he can even dunk, but he knows exactly how to play off two feet and is an elite distributor in ball screens. He made a big leap as a shooter this past season, drilling 38.8 percent from 3 while looking much more confident pulling up when opportunities arose."

Jonathan Wasserman - Bleacher Report - May 30th: "Underwhelming measurements (6'1", 6'3" wingspan) and athletic testing will keep teams' vision of Kolek as a backup. But that could still be enough to draw first-round interest, particularly from playoff teams who'll see a guard who can instantly provide pick-and-roll offense, spot-up shooting and toughness."

Kevin O'Connor - The Ringer - March 18th: "Pure playmaker who makes his teammates better and can catch fire as a scorer."

Jeff Zillgitt and Scooby Axson - USA Today - March 12th: "A playmaker and scorer, especially off the dribble, Kolek sees the court well, operates with savvy in the pick-and-roll and is clever with his finishes at the rim."
