Jake Kocher brings veteran guard savvy and timely shooting to the Islanders
Jake Kocher is a Texas A&M-Corpus Christi guard whose value has long come from toughness, timing, and doing the little things that swing games. In the 2012 season, he flashed end-of-game shot-making and a knack for momentum plays, including a 15-point, four-rebound, three-steal performance that highlighted his two-way energy. He was also recognized for academics, which usually tracks with a disciplined, reliable approach. If a team needs a smart, gritty backcourt piece who can hit open threes and compete without needing the offense built around him, Kocher fits the bill.
