Kolden is a strong 6’4 with a great feel for the game. That feel was demonstrated early with a quick transition for a lead to the rim, a patient attack waiting for the defense to move and then a finger roll finish, and a second possession basket timing the board and finishing. Really like his all around feel for the game combined with strength at 6’4 that allows him to do so many thing on the floor. When a Tonka freshman stepped to Kolden off the ball screen with hands down, it was a knocked down triple in an instant.

The ball movement just wasn’t there for Anoka on Sunday so Kolden wasn’t getting the amount of touches you’d expect, but he was so efficient when he did get the ball. At 6’5 he’s such a strong finisher inside, and has no problem finishing with either hand in traffic/through contact. Whether he’s cutting off the ball, pulling in an offensive board, or attacking off the dribble, he just has a nose for the rim. I really like his shot selection as he’s not hunting down a lot of tough isolation shots, and instead plays within the flow of the offense and takes what the defense gives him.
