Knicks Developing Tyler Kolek Into A SUPERSTAR... | Knicks News

[@bigtaskat-hand4742]

What I notice about Tyler kolek is that he makes everyone around him better.

[@HassanSev007]

He's Definitely A Gem 💎

[@santimig127]

I bet anything there are teams that will regret passing on Kolek, he is better than a lot of people believed, I've been impressed beyond what I expected

[@wpop32]

Tyler Kolek isn’t a typical rookie. He’s old school, he played all 4 years in college. He is NBA ready.

[@Nostalgicknick48]

Kolek is amazing! Next superstar indeed

[@Kingmar06]

I’m excited to see how much he improves

It's all on Thibs. Management has given him a team that is as stacked as the 60's-70's teams

[@esham34smith90]

I don't care if people wanna call me a knick homer or whatever. Do not be surprised if kolek takes payne spot in the rotation. People forget this dude is a 23 year old rookie who played 3 years of high level college ball. Yes we are a team contending for a championship, but remember this is not a 19 or 20 year old rookie that has to be developed at a snails pace, nor is he a young rookie on a bum ass team that has the green light to take over 20 shots a game because that team sucks so bad. Seems to be a high IQ player who understands he has to be a quick learner. Plus it's not unheard of for a rookie to have a impact on a championship team, the example that comes to mind is Sam Cassel with the 94 rockets.

[@dorkasaurus_rex]

They can play together

[@citizenx3801]

True. Kolek looks way better But that depends on Thibs. He loves his vets.

The kid is an all star 💫 and should be the rookie of the year if the Knicks play him, cause if he was on any other team trust me the media would be locked in on him.

[@TheKnicksRecap]

I don't see him playing heavy minutes. But I hope I'm wrong. I like what I see when he's on the court.

[@yabowyful]

Besides vision, previous post I think they need to practice Tyler 1 Branson at two see if it works

Good news is, NYK already has Brunson, so the perfect backup for Kolek. 😋 🤣 Seriously though, I don't know about superstar but he seems to know the right play to make. Some guys just know where they're supposed to be in the on the floor.

[@goofywill90]

Let's see how the Knicks play tonight.

[@SuperDimitri21]

A fan of his game. But superstar might be a stretch. Hopefully a productive rotation piece.

[@chrisconnors9449]

He makes really intelligent play making decisions. Has great court vision. Balances his own scoring out with getting others involved very well. If he scoring 12-15 in limited minutes of playing time. Imagine him playing a full half of a game. Let alone a full game.

[@TheKnicksRecap]

He's not that today. But I can see him turning into it this development continues.

[@cpersiani4466]

Interesting to see if he could play beside Brunson and Brunson could play off the ball a little bit. Wonder if the D will hold up in that backcourt

[@thebrandinghighway]

Are you going to do a video on the confrontation with Rick and Donte?

[@TheKnicksRecap]

Live video was done on it already! You can check it out. But I'm doing another updated one soon with the new information learned.

[@thebrandinghighway]

@@TheKnicksRecap awesome I just found it I didn't even look in the live stuff

[@jabroni_z2686]

I’ve never seen a Knick so hyped since Patrick. Is Kolek a good player yes but eventually superstar? Come on now, he hasn’t played one actual NBA game yet. The term “superstar” is so bastardize nowadays it’s ridiculous. There are generally 7-8 superstar in the league at at any given time. Can the kid make an all rookie team at least? An all star team maybe? Not to mention he was a 2nd round pick! Yes you can become a great player being a 2nd round pick but that’s an exception to the rule. Jalen Brunson is an anomaly. Did Deuce get kinda this hype? Obi? RJ? IQ? All those guys had just as good college careers if not better than Kolek yet we’re treating him like he’s the next John Stockton. “Superstar” potential is usually seen in a player way before the age of 23. 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@chrisconnors9449]

Clearly Guys like you would never consider an nba player as a potential superstar until he becomes a superstar. No matter how much potential he shows along the way.

[@chrisconnors9449]

if he is a rookie dropping 15-17 points in less than 10 mins worth of overall playing time. Then yyyyyeeeeh.. clearly he isn’t the average rookie. He hasn’t played bad yet in any summer league or preseason game.

[@TheKnicksRecap]

Development doesn't exist? I'm not making the claim he's going to be it year 1 or even year 5. Development continues throughout your career. But saying he has flashes and explaining why? I think there's room for that. I've been high on Kolek since after the draft. Called him the steal that day. My mindset hasn't shifted. It's an either you do or don't thing. You don't and that's cool. I do. There's room for both to exist lol.

[@chrisconnors9449]

@@TheKnicksRecap you definitely did call it early saying that Tyler Kolek may be the steal of the draft. I remember that.

[@Michael_Page]

I just don't understand how he dropped to the second round. Did he refuse to work out for teams? He won't play for the Knicks past his rookie deal. Like IQ, he'll be too good and too expensive. Hopefully he helps bring us a championship before he heads out.

[@jwrightstayfly2080]

That's why they signed him to the contract they did already. He's not on the average rookie contract. He got the most money ever. He's staying here watch

[@shelladon1044]

Telling you been saying since I seen him in Marquette this kid special he should be backing up brunson tom thibs is a fool if this kid don't play

[@chrisconnors9449]

Yeah cam Payne has more experience but he plays more wild & sloppy. Turns the ball over more than Tyler does.

[@TheKnicksRecap]

It's going to be hard year 1 given how stacked we are. But I hope the kid gets time.

[@MartyFriedmanJr]

no way he is 6'3. love this kid tho

[@VaughanQuan]

Bro, calling him a potential superstar is a major stretch. What you’re seeing in Kolek is a traditional PG. He’s a pass first PG with good vision and court awareness. He makes good decisions and has shown he can hit the open shot. He still needs to work on his defense. But if he develops we’re going to have the same situation we have with Quickley. As a basketball fan as well as a Knick fan Kolek I hope he does well but not being redundant he is far from a superstar. So let’s just watch him develop while he’s here.

[@TheKnicksRecap]

Develop* into a superstar. He's not there yet. But he will be able to get there IMO. Especially if he continues this development. I never called him a current superstar, he's far away at this point. But he has the potential given what we've seen.

[@djbiography1198]

Let's let this guy prove himself with a bigger sample size before you start labeling him a superstar. I understand you need daily KZbin content, but I'd like to see more from him, especially on defense.

[@johnfadian15]

And by the way it is so funny that Tom thibodeau still as this reputation for he does not play young guys. RJ Barrett Immanuel quickley Deuce McBride. Jericho Sims most of those guys were second round picks and still found a place in his rotation. He will play if he puts in the work and the time

[@TheKnicksRecap]

Year 1 on a championship team is EXTREMELY different to anything we've seen before. I hope I'm wrong. But Kolek not getting minutes on a stacked team in his first year isn't extremely unheard of.

With these rookies and young vets just hitting their prime, the Knick will be in Championship contention for another 5-10 yrs. By the way Is Frank still in the NBA?

I told people as well don't give me this bs lazy ass take that thibs doesn't play rookies either. Even if your a rookie, if like likes your work ethic you will get minutes. Yes thibs is a old school coach and has been doing this a long time, but definately not stupid and recognizes talent that can help this team.

IMO saying he's having superstar development isn't that much of a reach. He's nowhere near that now. But seeing flashes of it. Hard to ignore what you see and how good it looks.

Kolek is the steal of the draft. Because he stayed 4 years with Marquette he’s coming out much more developed than the typical one and done players. He’s mature high basketball IQ and he’s fundamentally sound. He is not the typical rookie. His body is developed at 23 years old besides the Knicks are not developing him he’s already developed. Give me a name of a player that the Knicks drafted and developed. I’ll wait.
