Brunson hurt, Kolek back up with the Knicks.

[Newsdreams]

Should have stayed in school

Missed Dr. degree such a sad story, could have gotten a better contract.

Oso has a long career ahead of him.

Feels like the kind of athletic big man who comes back all of a sudden one fall and has an improved and reliable jumper from over the summer to stretch his range and breaks out.

Jalen Brunson is hurt and Tyler Kolek is still getting 0 minutes? What the heck happened there? Thought he had a nice start to the year.

Tibbs doesn't do development of players. He drafts stars, overworks them into the ground then makes a shocked pikachu face when they consistently get injured or are too tired to take the next step in the playoffs

He's not their coach anymore

Lmao well that shows how much I've followed this year sports have been swapped for bluey and ms Rachel in this household.

14 points, 4 rebounds in 16 minutes last night for Oso.

I'm surprised he hasn't got more action. They keep playing 3 centers which makes it very tough for him to get any consistency but he's looked good when he gets time.

He's undersized, and it's all about defensive matchups. Last 3 games, he's played 25, 5 and 16 mins. That's just the way it is.

Landry Shamet got hurt early in last night's Knicks game, opening up PT for Kolek.

TK finished with 8 points in 17 minutes, went 1/2 from 3, had 1 assist and no TOs.

[GoldenEagles03]

Kolek is back to getting minutes for the Knicks

6 points, 5 assists , 3 rebounds, 1 block in 13 minutes off the bench.

The Shamet injury had given TK new life.

He's looked good for stretches.  His vision is still elite and passing still wows people. New coach, new system, like him getting consistent run and hopefully carves out a consistent 10+ min a game

Watched a bit of it last night since I knew he was active, but figure his first action will come in garbage time. Would be cool to see him and Kolek on the floor at the same time when the Pacers and Knicks play next Thursday.

Announcers: "Two great former teammates going at it in the NBA! Great to see. These two are from back in the days when Marquette was pretty good."

Ow! Dissing Shaka.

Kolek played really well last night in the Knicks' win over Orlando. 4 points, 4 assists, 3 rebounds in 16 minutes, and a game-high +18. He got extended PT in each half, and even played several minutes alongside Brunson in a two-small-PG lineup.

In the second quarter, TK made a nice dish to Josh Hart for a layup, stole the inbounds pass and then fed Mikal Bridges for another layup.

With Dwyane Wade as an announcer:

"That's Marquette Basketball!"

[MuggsyB]

Wade is a pretty good analyst.
