I know it's March Madness season, but if you're interested in watching something else tomorrow night at 7PM central...
The Knicks have listed three of their point guards (including Jalen Brunson) as out for Friday's game, which means that Kolek is very likely going to have his first career start in the NBA tomorrow. Not only that, but the Knicks will be playing the Bucks at Fiserv. AND, wildly enough, it also happens to be the day after Kolek's birthday.
Should be a pretty awesome night for TKO.
He's been having some great games recently.
I'm pretty sure they play Fri
It is friday but thanks for the heads up.

Ah you guys are right. Thank you for the correction. Still a great night for him nevertheless.
Kolek made the NBA? Wow!

He needed another season of college hoops.
I hope Flagg is paying attention.
NYC sports radio has been mad at Thibs because the consensus is Tyler Kolek needs more playing time. Mikhal Bridges stated publicly 2-3 weeks ago and got himself in some hot water.

They just interviewed Shaka on the Bucks telecast.
Thibs really hates rookies.
Admittingly the corpses of Delon Wright had a great first half.
But everyone thought TK would start
I tried to get sneaky and bet TK 7 assists today and it was like -150 cause DK even thought he was starting.
Nope.
3/3 in 10 minutes in first half

I didn't get screwed over on a bet though
I got screwed over on placing the bet, but in hindsight with TK finishing 5/5 I I got saved.
Great night!

Also if you had comprehension higher than that of a rock you'd know, my comment was to support those who thought TK was starting two days ago.
Everyone. Social media. Knicks fans. Gambling sites. Thought he was.
Thibs went Thibs
You planning to post about MU ever? Or just accusing people of sexual assault and gambling problems? While contemplating the worthiness of your life(nothing btw)

Everyone is so happy for you. Congratulations.
Now maybe just text your boys about betting or post in the betting thread. Nobody but you gives a sh1t what the odds for TK's assists are or whatever other bet your making on any of the other threads. You're the only one who brings betting (and your fantasy team) into threads all the time. Literally nobody cares.
And nobody cares when you constantly brings it up to your boys either, FYI. They're just being polite pretending to root for your bets because you never stfu about it. Nobody likes that guy. You are that guy.

Don't really care what beef someone has, encouraging suicide is absurdly POS behavior.
PGs simply lacks the self awareness to realize that he posting style is awful and his focus on items that interest only him pollutes pretty much every topic he posts in.
And of course when it's pointed out to him, he lashes out like a child.
Ah well. Maybe he will learn one day.

Of course if you have the awareness to be combative to everyone "always wright" Not sure. Don't care.
But the "pollutes" topics thing. Think you need a lesson there and I can poke 150,000 holes in every topic of things that are off topic in them. If you think me mentioning and over/under in the NCAA TOURNAMENT THREAD is pollution.
While I don't mean to break up a slapfight, while Kolek's stat line wasn't immense and it can be a flawed metric, he was +18 in 17 minutes. Highest on the team by a good clip and soaring over our buddy Delon Wright and his -9 in 30 minutes. Impressive in a 9 point win.

Thibs is furious a rookie was that efficient
Took A picture of Tyler Kolek standing by Shaka tonight. Coach Cody Hiatt was sitting by Shaka. David Joplin and Coach Neil Barry were also in the house tonight.

Shaka should have been in the film room. Wish I had time for good times like him. #COW
TKo belongs. But, as the Clippers game showed, he needs to improve on defense. And his shooting has not been good. His current shooting would have fit right in with MU. His playmaking is clearly NBA level.
Well done, young man.

Defense will always be an issue for TK, and that goes double when playing for Thibs. In college, he had good instincts for deflections and enough intelligence to usually handle his assignment. In the NBA, they hunt out inferior 1-on-1 defenders and prey on them.
It's doubtful that gets much better for TK, so the main way he can overcome that to get more PT is to be so damn good on offense that his coach needs to play him anyway. As you alluded to, proving he could make more shots - especially 3s - would go a long way.
I believe I saw that Brunson was one of the lowest-rated defensive guards in the entire league. But Thibs has to play Brunson big-time minutes because Brunson is so damn valuable on offense.
Not sure if TK can ever get to that level of offensive skill, but I wasn't surprised he was drafted and got a nice contract, and I won't be surprised if he's in the league for a long time.

Kolek is doing exactly what he can do to get more time, and thats being a playmaker on a team with multiple really good scorers. He needs to shoot better, but he's also not getting a ton of looks/reps. But if he continues to play and distribute like he is, that will come. Can't ask for much more as a second round rookie under Thibs.

I mean, he was getting virtually no PT until NY suffered a rash of guard injuries. His playmaking ability couldn't get him off the bench.
I was talking more long-term. And I'll stick with what I said: It's a lot to ask for him to improve defensively because he is who he is, but we've all seen him become a better shooter. IMHO, over time, improving that a lot will be his ticket to more PT.
