My thoughts when we picked him.
His clone

A little different game wise. TJ is shiftier with the pull up game and is a tougher defender. Kolek better long range shooter and passer. Also, I think Kolek would immediately start over Tyrese.

Kolek no. TJ yes. His numbers were sick against us in comparison.

Probably because that shooting form is so bad!

Not to mention his six side steps on his 3pter. Refs have to start calling that travel.

You know one thing I feel this FO is different from any other Knicks FO: they have the guys in the draft they want to go get. If those guys are not on the board, they don't just use the pick and take a chance, they just trade the pick and try to get value elsewhere. It's pretty gangsta.

We needed a second real pg. love deuce but he’s better off ball

Do I win a prize for sort of calling this pick — though I had us taking him in the first?

What a pick.

Brunson/ McBride/ Kolek

Knicks are set at PG longterm.

We still calling Deuce a PG?

When he played without Brunson we could barely get into an offense or shot before clock ran out.

Don’t get me wrong - I LOVE DEUCE - but….not sure about him as a penetration PG. Hopefully he proves me wrong.

Kolek is crafty. There is a little Brunson in him in how he changes pace and can get free without having blazing speed. Jalen is really no blazer, but knows how to manipulate a defender. This guy might have similar ability.

Honest opinion, you think he can stay in front of McConnell where Deuce couldn’t? Feels like we added a solid 3point shooter that can run an offense. Reminds me of a Steve Kerr. But I don’t see the athleticism to deal with McConnell. We obviously gave up draft collateral to get him. So, the FO sees him as important. Just think the McConnell reference is premature.

I don’t think of TJ either. I think you need to guard TJ w length

TJ has to guard him as well.

True but the point IMO is TJ is more shifty than fast. Have some longer player guard him who can play a little more off him and then use his length when he finally shoots. Deuces speed is best on maxey and doesn’t really help w TJ so much

Steve Kerr couldn't run an offense. The guy barely dribbled.
