Miller's best season was 274 assists.
Kolek 33 games @ 8 per game=264
Kolek had 188 assists his first year at MU. Miller had 221+215+274+248. It may be possible, but I believe Kolek will not beat best season or total assists records without post season wins.
What happens, if Kolek plays four years at MU? Currently he listed as having 188 assists as a sophomore. Does his first year get changed to freshmen stats or is going to have two senior stats?
Postseason matters, but so does development. Assuming 31 league games, one BET, and one postseason (NCAA/NIT) the next two years, TK would need to average greater than 8.33 assists for one of the next two seasons (8.33 x 33 = 274) to break the single season record.
But if he keeps up his exact current pace for 2 years at 33 games per year, that's 259 each of the next three years. 259 x 3 + 188 = 965, which means his current pace puts him on a 4 year trajectory ahead of Miller (956) for career without any improvement or postseason play beyond two games per year.
Then for career, the 50 from GMU get that up to 1,015 which puts him 61 away from Bobby Hurley's career record of 1,076. And again, that's with flatline improvement and minimal postseason opportunities. Give TK a little bit of improvement and/or a bit of postseason play and he could leave as the NCAA's all-time assist leader.
It's entirely possible this team will end up playing 35 (one BET & one NCAA win) games this year, which puts him exactly on pace for 275, passing Miller's single season record. Then what if they play 35 each of the next two years, but he averages 8.4 next year (294) and 9.0 in his COVID year (315)? That, along with the GMU numbers, puts him well past Hurley (1,123).
It's premature to think about all-time records, but he's on pace for 259 this year with no postseason wins, and if he managed to play two extra postseason games is on pace to pass Miller this year. And if this year isn't his peak, all-time great stuff really is on the table.
