The Tyler Kolek Player Comp Thread

[Uncle Rico]

Compare Tyler Kolek to a player of the past.  Only criteria: It can’t be a white guy.

His number one frosh comp on KenPom was Mike Hughes of Georgia Southern

Can't be a white guy, eh? Um ... Eminem?

Seriously, Brunson was the first guy who jumped into my head a couple days ago, and I posted a photo of him yesterday in a Kolek discussion.

Heady, athletic enough, in control, looks for others first but willing to take the big shot.

If Kolek has 75% the impact on our program that Brunson had on Nova's, I will be over-the-moon happy. It's probably not fair to ask that of him, though.

I also think Morsell is this team's leader, but a very good team has more than one leader, and Kolek seems to have those traits as well.

I still like my white chocolate comparison, but I’ll go with a bigger Mo Acker for this excercise.

This was the official Mr. Dodds blender :

+ The blender: Put MU lefty combo guard Gary Rosenberger[MU 1974-78] and MU PG Travis Diener[2001-2005] in a blender...sprinkle in some lefty combo guard Matt Carlino[MU 2014-15]...shake...do not stir...serve at room temperature.

Does dodds blender include a lazy skin Pantone matching requirement ?

That’s racist. ^^^^^^^

He has a touch of Ed Cota in him with the vision and methodology of the passing.

A very poor man’s Ed Cota.

I thought this was going to be a thread about a projected increase in Tyler's NIL revenue after last night's performance.

[PGsHeroes32]

Obviously, Kolek has a looooooooong way to go to be anywhere as good as Brunson.

But the comp is great. Their styles and game very similar. Even ignoring the lefty part of it.

[Pakuni]

Since we're talking about a lefty point guard, I'll say Goran Dragic.

I usually end up comparing Ja Morant to Tyler Kolek.

Diener chimes in but with a white guy

Brunson comparison not bad, but he also had strong post-up game, terrific in the lane with the classic nova jump stop, and had an effective teardrop floater, none of which I have seen from TK. 

Lin comparison solid, though, again, Lin was finishing at the rim more than TK.

Best non-white comp I can think of is Sui Generis.

[tower912]

I should have said 70% of Brunson.  And that isn't bad
