The Toronto Raptors have reportedly worked out Marquette's Tyler Kolek ahead of the NBA draft later this month as the organization searches for a backup guard
He's barely taller than 6-foot-1, had the second smallest wingspan of anyone measured at the draft combine last month, and is a few months older than Scottie Barnes who just wrapped up his third NBA season this past year. None of that profiles as someone with untapped upside to excite NBA scouts.
Kolek is a savvy floor general whose high-level basketball IQ allows him to make the most of his undersized frame. He's quick attacking the hoop and has developed himself into an impressive finisher near the rim considering his lack of size.
