Remind me again why the Knicks didn't draft Dunn instead of Dadiet ? Cause if we had a draft of Dunn, Kolek, Hukporti ( Mculler ) they could be celebrating a great haul. Dadiet still has time but what was the reason that getting Dadiet to take less on his deal first season was so important ?

Kolek looked just okay yesterday. He set new career highs, but he had a lot of mistakes. It is understandable. He needs to improve the 3 pt shooting, the defense, and his command of the offense. It is growing pains. He still looks like someone with the potential to be starter in 2 years.

They wanted to stash him overseas and not take on the salary when they initially made the draft choice.

Honestly, I would still draft Dadiet over Dunn today. Dunn is unplayable in a team with title aspirations until he gets a jump shot. I went in with the idea that Dadiet is a few years away. But if he does hit, you get a wing with size, decent defense and a shot that has to be respected by the opposing defense. Time will tell.

Always... always remember: Less is less. More is more. More is better and twice as much is good too. Not enough is bad, and too much is never enough except when it's just about right. - The Tick

Based on today, I'd say it's coming along nicely.

Kolek will probably start if Josh misses some time, I’m excited to see Brunson and Kolek play a ton of minutes together.

The Kolek emergence I think keeps us pat at the trade deadline unless we can move Yabusele for a backup 4 .

I'd move Yabusele, but he is a minus asset at this point. Would require attaching a second rounder. I would not sell low. Eventually he will have some moments and some games. Once his trade value goes back up- then I'd trade him. His only possible way is up at this point. Yes!!! Finding some positivity.....

He has a COACH


What a difference a coach makes.
Props to Thibs just like Mark Jackson did for Kerr. Brown is enjoying the fruits of Thibs labor. But we needed Brown to unlock the potential of Kolek and raise his ceiling.

Thibs a taskmaster who wants his players to abide. Brown is drilling them but then wants them to play looser.

Mikal likley would have wanted out if Thibs stayed. Brown got Mikal back to where he was before knicks.
OG seems a bit looser also. Thibs did good work with OG and Brown is not ****ing it up.
Towns? He is the key. There is something evolving here. Better foot work on Defense and less complaining.

Kolek and Brunson on the floor together is a match made in heaven and an absolute nightmare for opponents. Kolek is an elite offensive qb who gets everyone the ball for optimal Scoring. He’s also a Brunson lite and can score himself .

No Buddy is making the comparison but to me this guy screams John Stockton. Kolek allows Brunson to be a off ball scorer where he thrives…

I would not be shocked if Kolek ends up in the starting line up permanently and without question he’ll be closing games with Brunson.


We do not win the game on Christmas without Kolek . Just a phenomenal second round find … this kinda reminds me of when Brunson had his coming out party in Dallas .

Kolek not only has a bag this guy is an absolute dog.


In all my life of wishing the Knicks could just have a pg for our great players throughout the years the Knicks now have two …

The mark jackson curse is finally over .. that was the worst trade pat the rat ever did … if we had mark, Knicks win the chip in 94.. I remember watching that and thinking all we were missing was mark.

If Josh is to miss games things are getting a bit thin off the bench. Maybe move Mikal to the 2 and Diawa gets the start?
Its not who starts, but who finishes and the Kolek/Brunson thing is very good. It gives Jalen an easier time and that was very apparent down the stretch. Kolek was impressive but Brunson set the table with some key buckets getting the lead cut.
Deuce will need to shake some rust and get back into game shape.

Kolek rise makes any trade rumor for DDV a bit off for now.
