Jop BE 6th man.  Scoop wanted him cut.

[tower912]

Scoop says a lot of dumb things.  Like most fanbases.

[zcg2013]

So happy for Jop. His defense got so much better as the year went on. If he gets a tad faster and controls the handle a bit more, going to be real hard to keep him off the court next year.

Scoop hates us too

If F-em wins BEPOY, what's the motivation to come back? AA?

Motivation to win a national championship.

Or to win back-to-back natties.

What was Collin Gillespie's when he came back after winning 2021 BEPOY?  What was Markus Howard's when he came back after winning BEPOY in 2019?  Why did both of the Co-BEPOYs (Kris Dunn and Ryan Arcidiacono) return the next season?  Luke Harangody when he won BEPOY in 2008?  Brandin Knight when he won BEPOY in 2002?  Troy Bell when he won BEPOY in 2001?  Troy Murphy when he won BEPOY in 2000?  Rip Hamilton when he won BEPOY in 1998?  Etc.

[warriorchick]

I think the question isn't why he would stay. It's why he would leave.

Why are you asking so many questions?

[tower912]

He's getting  married.  This is his only chance to ask questions.

Where's he going?

[MU82]

[GoldenEagles03]

Where's he going?

Lol seriously.  He's not an NBA guy.  Maybe could get some G League run and earn an opportunity, but he has said he loves everything that comes with College Hoops.

He has said he wants to stay in college as long as he's allowed to. He wont be leaving just to go sit in the G League and play meaningless basketball games.

[MU82]

Marcus Zegarowski was drafted midway through the 2nd round in 2021, and Kolek is better than he was.

Doesn't mean I think Tyler's leaving, but the NBA has found and playing time for prospects worse than Tyler Kolek.

It's a conversation for when he actually does want to leave.

He's played 0 NBA games.

That route isn't for everyone and I fully believe Tyler when he says he plans on staying in college as long as he can.

That opportunity for TK will be there down the line.

I was talking about getting drafted. But we both could find several examples of players less accomplished than Kolek getting NBA playing time.

Agree that this thread isn't the best place for this conversation. I just didn't love your knee-jerk dis of his chances.

I said he could get chances, but when I said he isn't an NBA guy I meant like "not a guy that is going to bolt the College atmosphere early to go play in front of 750 fans in the G League while he works for an opportunity."
He could get some run eventually.

OK
