Tom Thibodeau has liked what he has seen from the New York Knicks rookie.
Prior to the Knicks' 109-97 loss to the Houston Rockets on Monday, head coach Tom Thibodeau praised the early outings of Marquette alumWhile rookies often have to work a little harder to earn the attention of the notoriously hard-to-please Thibodeau, the veteran Knicks boss piled on the praise during the pregame.. "I think he’s learning like most young guys coming into the league. He’s a gym rat, works extremely hard, puts a lot of time into film study, extra work, practice.
"He’s around really good veterans. That helps move it along in terms of how you learn and then a big part of it is the trial and error of getting out there and doing it. So I think he’s putting everything he has into it." Though somewhat undersized, Kolek earned a considerable amount of hype from Knicks observers on draft night: New York traded with Portland to land in his slot and Kolek brought with him a plethora of individual honors earned in Milwaukee. Like Hart and Jalen Brunson before him, Kolek won the Big East's Men's Basketball Player of the Year Award in 2023, the same year that saw him win the famed conference tournament's Most Outstanding Player title at Madison Square Garden.
