What a shooting outburst by Kolchenko (game 1: 22 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 7/10 FG, 5/7 3P, 31 minutes; game 2: 13 points, 2 rebounds, 5/9 FG, 3/6 3P, 16 minutes). The Ukrainian point guard was red-hot from everywhere on the floor, connecting on all kind of long-range bombs, either in static fashion or firing off the dribble, off crossovers or fade-aways, open or contested, showing impressive confidence and rhythm, successfully creating space while showing very nice mechanics. Showing decent size for a guard, both in terms of size and frame, hes also pretty athletic and can attack the basket off the dribble with nice aggressiveness, although hes not a particularly gifted slasher (his ball-handling and footwork are average). Neither particularly creative, hes not looking like much of a team player, but mostly a volume scorer.
