Jeff Hanisch-USA TODAY Sports

Tyler Kolek

Guard | Marquette

Height: 6'3” | Weight: 195 lbs

2024 Draft Age: 23.25

Prospect Profile

A natural lead guard that plays with a chip on his shoulder, Kolek embodies a winning player. Though he might be limited in some parts of the game, he’s an incredible passer that can also space the floor and score when needed.

Kolek has really developed in three years at Marquette following his freshman campaign at George Mason. Standing at 6-foot-3, he’s a crafty offensive weapon that has a good feel for when his team needs him to score or facilitate for others.

In fact, Kolek is one of the best passers in the country. For the second consecutive season, he’s hovered near the top of the Division I leaderboard for most assists generated. On any given night, he can produce a double-double with points and dimes. In the last two seasons alone, he’s recorded multiple games with 15 or more assists.
