Jeremy Kolev is a stocky versatile forward with a +3 wingspan and build that reminds us of Charles Barkley to an extent – Kolev is an impressively sneaky athletic. Will play bigger than his height. A hustle guy with a high motor who will be ready to sacrifice his body on the defensive end. A true fighter on both sides of the ball, showing great competitive spirit. Tough as nails.
Offensively he will be able to do a bit of everything, a savvy driver to the hoop who embraces the physical game. At the same time, he will be able to space the floor with an improving outside stroke, mainly as a spot-up shooter. Kolev could be a great addition to any low-major D1 school thanks to a nice blend of great intangibles (coachability, work ethic, competitiveness) and good skill set. Played with Bulgaria at U16 and U18 FIBA summer youth events. He has both a Bulgarian and a German passport.
Projection: Low Major D1
