Recent draftee Tyler Kolek could be in line for real minutes with New York in his debut season.
An essential four-year starter in college, Tyler Kolek will be walking into an entirely new situation with the New York Knicks. But one he could quickly take advantage of with his laundry list of ready-made NBA skills.
The highlight was his 7.0 assists per game to just 1.4 turnovers, an obviously translatable skill that seamlessly carried over from college — 7.7 dimes per game in his final season with Marquette. The former Golden Eagle’s scoring wasn’t as seamless a transition — just 9.6 points on 36% shooting from the field — but it was clear even pre-draft that he’ll need more time on that front to find comfortability. His near-40% 3-point shooting in his last two collegiate seasons leaves plenty of hope.
