(This is the first in a series of nine BuffZone.com profiles reviewing the rotation players for the 2018-19 Colorado men's basketball team.)
Daylen Kountz left plenty of room for improvement after his first season with the University of Colorado men's basketball team.
Yet the 6-foot-4 guard from Denver East also can be counted as a pleasant surprise for the Buffaloes during the 2018-19 season, a player who consistently attacked the basket with the same confidence he used to attack the challenges of an unexpectedly larger role.
Kountz evolved from a player whose contributions might have been counted as a bonus in November and December to one whose contributions were indispensible during a late run of 12 wins in 15 games that changed the entire complexion of the Buffs' season.
