Personal Bio/PreCareer Summary

From Cumberland, Rhode Island, Kolek played his freshman year at George Mason and was named Atlantic 10 Rookie of the Year after averaging 10.8 points, 3.6 rebounds and 2.3 assists. However, Dave Paulson was fired in the offseason, so Kolek transferred to Marquette. In his first season as a Golden Eagle, he led the team with 5.9 assists per game. The following campaign, he was named the Big East Player of the Year and the Most Outstanding Player of the 2023 Big East Tournament. As a senior, he led the NCAA with 7.7 assists per game and added 15.3 points en route to being named a 2nd-Team All-American. At 6-foot-3, Kolek is a polished floor general who's fantastic at picking apart defenses via pick-and-rolls. He looks confident shooting from the top of the key when defenders go under screens, but he's better as a catch-and-shoot option than a player hunting his jumper. Kolek shot better than 38% from deep in his final two campaigns at Marquette and finished his collegiate career with a 35.5 mark. He's patient in the paint and has great touch around the rim with both hands. Kolek is an instinctual defender and can read passing lanes, but he has a lot of work to do on that end before being considered a strong two-way player at the pro level. Kolek is a couple inches shorter than Luke Kennard and Austin Reaves but a couple inches taller than T.J. McConnell. The Marquette product's game is a blend of all three NBA vets, but Kolek is likely better off operating as the primary ballhandler and offensive initiator for a second unit, similar to what McConnell has done for many years in Indiana. Kolek would likely need to be a 40% shooter from beyond the arc to be worthy of a starting spot on most NBA squads.

Notches 21 points
GNew York Knicks
July 17, 2024
Kolek produced 21 points (6-14 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 6-7 FT), eight assists, four rebounds and two steals across 32 minutes of Wednesday's 106-105 Summer League win over the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Selected with the No. 34 pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, Kolek made quite the impression Wednesday after struggling with his shooting in his previous two outings. Through three total appearances in the Summer League, Kolek has produced averages of 11.3 points, 7.3 assists, 4.3 rebounds and 1.6 three-pointers.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Unlikely to earn minutes as rookie
GNew York Knicks
August 22, 2024
Kolek is not expected to have a prominent role with the Knicks as a rookie in the 2024-25 season, according to Fred Katz of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Knicks' coach Tom Thibodeau has been strict when it comes to handing minutes to rookies throughout his career, and that won't change with Kolek. Plus, the Knicks have Miles McBride and Cameron Payne as backups to Jalen Brunson, so Kolek could even see a big chunk of his minutes at the G League level to start his pro career.
