Kolek planning to go pro
Keep your eyes on Kolek. He might be a difference maker.
Simpkins praise of Kolek during the broadcast was well-intentioned but seemed like backhanded compliments and a bit of racial microaggressions. He described Kolek as crafty, high basketball IQ and unathletic. Maybe I’m watching a different game but I think Kolek is quite athletic! Does he have a 45-inch vertical? No. But he constantly beats his man off the dribble and can splice through the defense. He’s the straw that stirs our drink right now.
1. Wonderful ball movement. 2. I remember saying early in the year that the structure of the offense reminded me of the midgets. The last two games have really shown that.3. Took advantage of Georgetown when they were down.4. All of those guys throwing OMP and TKo under the bus ...5. Two great games in a row. Make it 3.
He’s very creative in the way he gets to the hoop
Especially impressive since he’s a freshman
Hopefully Stevie keeps developing on offense because his defense for a freshman guard is really, really good. He gets a little grabby but we havent had a young guard who could move his feet like that in a while.
