Heading into the 2018-19 season, and as the Colorado Buffaloes’ campaign got underway, freshman guard Daylen Kountz’s ability to become acclimated to playing basketball in college appeared questionable at times.
A local kid, Kountz graduated from Denver East High School in 2018, averaging just over 23 points per game for the Angels, who posted a 21-4 record during his senior year.
Many incoming freshmen take time to make a smooth transition from high school to collegiate basketball, and Kountz was no exception.
But from day one of the season to now, the jump in overall ability that Kountz has put on display for head coach Tad Boyle has been impressive.
