Career highlights and awards

Tyler Kalinoski (born December 19, 1992)[1] is an American basketball player who plays for Apollon Patras of the Greek Basket League. Kalinoski was a McDonald’s All-American nominee as a senior at Olathe East High School in Kansas and completed his college career for the Davidson Wildcats. He was named Atlantic 10 Conference Men's Basketball Player of the Year in 2015.[2]

High school career

Kalinoski competed for Olathe East High School under coach Jim Super. He was named to the first-team All-Sunflower League in 2010 and 2011. As a senior, he averaged 17.1 points, 5.8 rebounds, 5.7 assists, and 2.2 steals per game, leading the team in all statistical categories. The Wichita Eagle and Topeka Capital Journal selected him to the 6A first-team all-state, and the Olathe News named him Player of the Year in his senior year. He was a McDonald’s All-American nominee.[1]

College career

Kalionski was the last player recruited by Davidson, only after a higher ranked player failed to qualify academically.[3] In his freshman year in 2011–12, Kalinoski posted averages of 4.7 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 17.4 minutes a game. His best game was a 17-point outing in the quarterfinals of the Southern Conference tournament against Furman, in which he knocked down five 3-pointers. As a sophomore in 2012–13, he averaged 7.6 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 22.6 minutes per game. On 13 occasions he scored in double figures.[1]

As a senior in 2014–15, Kalinoski guided Davidson to a 23-6 record and Atlantic 10 regular season championship despite being picked 12th in the preseason coaches poll. He led Davidson in scoring with 16.9 points per game and finished second on the team with 5.7 rebounds per game.[2] On March 9, 2015, CBS Sports named Kalinoski player of the week after he scored 22 points in a win over VCU and 32 points in a win over Duquesne.[4] At the conclusion of the regular season he was named Atlantic 10 player of the year.[2] Kalinoski hit a buzzer-beater to prevent a La Salle victory in the quarterfinals of the Atlantic 10 Tournament, capping a 14-point comeback.[5]

Professional career

Kalinoski went undrafted in the 2015 NBA draft. On June 26, he signed with the Miami Heat to play in the 2015 NBA Summer League. “I want to seize the moment and just go out and play,” he said.[6] When Summer League ended, Miami and the Charlotte Hornets were interested in signing him as a fringe player, with the perspective of spending most of the season in the NBA D-League.[7]

After impressing at Summer League, Kalionski opted against trying his luck in the NBA as a fringe player or in the NBA D-League, and he joined French League club Élan Chalon.[8]

On 22 July, 2016, Kalinoski joined Apollon Patras of the Greek Basket League.[9]
