GMU Players Drafted by the NBA

[Walter]

In the new world of the portal, I think it is going to become common that a player will have multiple schools he attended listed when drafted.

Only Miami is listed by his name on NBA.com. Do other outlets list George Mason?

I was thinking in the future

Does Tyler Kolek have any chance at the NBA?

Don’t see it … he’s a shorter Drew Timme, excellent college player whose physical gifts do not translate to the NBA.

Kolek runs the pick and roll better than any PG in college basketball.

If Ryan Arcidiacono can make an NBA team, Kolek has a shot.

Hopefully the portal era will lead to the NBA.com interface being updated to support listing multiple schools.

Fair point. Guess I just see guys like Arcidiacano as typical “one specific role” players in the NBA, and strangely enough Kolek hasn’t shot the 3 well enough against high-level competition to think he can be successful as a floor-spacer off the bench.

Also, skeptical of whether the craftiness that works against college players would play up against NBA defenses — which is the same knock against Timme. Guess we’ll see.

T.J. McConnell comes to mind as another "comp" to Kolek.

McConnell is a career 34% shooter on 3's. He's averaged 5 assists/game while playing 22 minutes/game over his 8-year career.

Tre Jones is another PG that you can compare to Kolek. Jones was a full time starter this year for the Spurs (his 3rd year in the league). His 3-pt shooting % was 27% with 6.6 assists/game. Granted, the Spurs were the worst team in the NBA this year.

Kolek shot 40% on 6.7 attempts per game. He struggled last year, but that’s pretty solid on high volume. We will see how he shots as a senior.
