LAS VEGAS — Tyler Kolek, at his playmaking peak, is an antagonizer. Confident. Arrogant, maybe.
Picture the villain in a 1980s teen movie.
“When I’m playing at my best,” Kolek said, “I got that swagger, I got that s— to me.”
You might’ve witnessed this version of Kolek in college, specifically at Marquette, where he adopted the roles of tormentor and villain. Regularly taunted by opposing fans — that type of frat-boy nastiness — Kolek responded by leading the nation in assists his junior and season seasons and earning an All-American nod.
