MAJOR Development! Tyler Kolek Receiving MASSIVE Opportunity… | Knicks News
The New York Knicks have reportedly changed what their guard rotation could look like for next season. Initial reports indicated that Cam Payne, who signed a vet minimum contract to join the Knicks, was supposed to receive significant minutes off the bench for NY. However, latest reports looked at current rotation projections & taking into account Summer League play, that may no longer be the case. The strong play of Knicks rookie Tyler Kolek seems to have changed things and now it looks like Kolek will receive a major opportunity off the bench for the Knicks next season as he’s listed ahead of Payne on the guard depth… Troy Mahabir breaks all of this down!

People get time they earn or the matchup of a game
As I said, there is no way Kolek plays any significant minutes primarily because his defense is sub par.
Probably a competition at camp/preseason
i dont think kolek will be an allstar i think he could be one of the best role players itl though
THAT KID IS THE SECOND BEST POINT GUARD ON THE TEAM AND I DOINT CARE WHAT ANY BODY ELSE SAYS BECAUSE HE IS A NATURAL POINT GUARD THEY ARE VERY HARD TO FIND. JUST THINK OF JOHN STOCKTON OR MARK PRICE HE IS A PASS FIRST POINT GUARD YEARS AGO THE KNICKS COULDN'T FIND A POINT GUARD NOW THE HAVE TWO POINT GUARDS TEAMS ARE GONNA BE KNOCKING ON THE KNICKS DOOR FOR HIM
Payne caught a domestic so gotta see what happens with that
Thibs aint playing 10 players
Tyler Kolek will be the #2 PG and the sad part is "Deuce"✌️ will be traded to the Utah Jazz and the NY Knicks will get Center Walker. It will happen soon 🤞.
Kolek defense worries me🤷🏾♂️
If Tyler Kolek becomes the #2 PG of the NY Knicks 🧡. He will play more minutes of controlling the offense and giving more rest to Jalen Brunson. "Great"! 👍
Where's Tyler at? Let's ask Tyler. Tyler isn't ready for the big boys. He needs a little time to get all of his skills up to League level. We ALL know that Mr. Thibs don't play rooks "significant minutes" without earning membership into Thibs' Circle of Trust, sooo… "Bullshyt!" — Excuse me, I'm allergic.
I don't believe 💩Igan Begley report
Cam Payne has yet to play minutes in a game and yet to prove he belongs in rotation. What if he turns out to be a Alec Burke or Evan Fournier relegated to bench forever? Everyone should wait till he shows up in practice and games to show that he belongs. Knicks still have McBride and Divencencio for the 1 and 2 spots. McBride days as a Knick seems like it’s over and will be asset included for a back up C trade. Writing is on the wall with signings and rookie aiming to crack rotation
Hi Troy, I like the report. Thank you for keeping us updated!
MAAAASSSSSIVVEEEE UPDATE
Tibbs is not doing that dumb SHIT
Knicks fans always overreacting 😅
Tyler is better than deuce offensively great IQ
Dymetro the center has great potential as well
Precious 🙏🏽
Thanks!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Sounds great!
Kolek isn't ready for the nba. Pleas stop this foolishness😂😂😂😢😮😅😅😅😅😅
Kolek only can go left and has a bad knee look like to me. Everytime he moves to his right he's carrying that leg
The knicks need to pump the breaks on kolek… let him polish his game in the G
Instead of making him the second coming of Stockton sign precious dammit and lets get on with training camp
You are such a jackass..theres no way that thibs is picking his rotation yet,you just like to hear yourself talk.A smart coach will wait until practices and pre season games, hes not gonna put a man in his rotation based on a few summer league games
Knicks, by signing Payne and drafting Kolek, have made McBride available for trade bait. If either Payne or Kolek pan out at league minimum pay, McBride will be included in whatever trade is made for a big man.
This is ridiculous! Give the kid a break…it will take some time to learn the system..in near term-I think he could be a pawn to trade for a center
Kolek better hit the gym. The NBA is a very physical league.
The Knicks have a nice problem. Depth.
Bro we're chasing a chip this season Thibbs doesn't play rookies u think he's really gonna play him in one of our most important seasons
If true that Kolek will play mostly in the G-league and Payne is not in the rotation, the Knicks don't have a backup pg. McBride, for as good as he is defensively nad as a scorer, can't run the offense. The team struggled to score when he was on the court without Brunson
Not a chance he's a rookie and his defense sucks
