Tyler Kolek was a great addition for the
New York Knicks in the 2024 NBA draft. Selected with the No. 34 pick, the hope was that Kolek would grow into a role player relatively quickly. The Knicks fan base has been clamoring for more Kolek minutes all season—
minutes that would have been well-deserved all along, as New York has intermittently needed help orchestrating and scoring. But Kolek is receiving significantly more minutes of late—and he’s showing exactly why fans were so excited about him.
