Seems like another guy other teams can double off to trap Booker, KD and Beal.
That's probably a pretty good comp. He's one of the best defenders, however he did shoot 30.5% from 3 in college and over 85% from the line and now he is 34.6% from 3 and 76% from the line. So he still came in much better as a shooter.
Guys who can't hit a 3 but show to be a good FT shooter usually indicates they can probably improve 3pt shooting, but 53% from the line. It will be tough. I would have obviously rather gotten a guy with a lot higher floor who you could play immediately, high iq, can shoot, is a better defender than advertised (always in the right place) and can finish and make others better. Some her compare him to Jerome or McConnell but he was by far the best PG in the country this year, kind of like Brunson was. They have the same leadership skills but obviously he is a better scorer and not as good of a passer. But, he also slipped to the second round.
I hope Kolek's agent can somehow make him slip down to us since the dollar amounts in the second round are not set and a guy drafted in the 50s can make the same as a guy drafted early 30s.
