    Rooks are doing things.

    Cardio, in Dadiet’s case.

  2. cesarjulius

    rokas and kolek both looking good today. kolek defense still a problem, but he’s making shots.

  3. fat_lever123

    My 1st half analysis:

    Kolek: More of the same so far. Looks super composed and making on time/on target passes. Doing this without any existing chemistry is super impressive. Spot up shot looks fluid too. Defense is a fucking mess though…

    Dadiet: Just here for cardio today but his on ball defense continues to be way better than advertised. So so far away from seeing an NBA floor as expected though.

    Hukporti: Been super impressive today. Looks like a man amongst boys on the boards and playing stout defense. Even flashed a little post footwork/scoring touch. Wouldn’t be shocked if Thibs turns him into a 10 MPG rotation player at some point over the next couple of years. Has all the tools of a serviceable backup big.

    Rokas: Looks very impressive. Surprisingly been very good with his defense so far. Still skeptical he’s an NBA rotation player at this point though tbh.

    Duane Washington: Im tired boss. Please stop running isos for him.

    Washington put the fries in the bag bro

    We got something special in the pg I’m not sold on the first round pick yet I do like his energy but is he another toppin? Age is on his side so he definitely can improve I’m rooting for him

  6. 1likeicecream

    Please someone tell Dice to give Rokas Duane’s minutes

  7. Jamesbondbadil

    Hukporti looking good on those boards. He knows we need C depth and he’s making a case for himself.

  8. Be-Kind-Remind

    Kolek, Hukporti, and Baugh are all looking like Thibs players today.

  9. STATnMELO650

    I just love Kolek’s game so much. Such a pure point guard.

  10. NYdude777

    Rokas trying to get that bench spot. How is he at calling out 3 sec violations?

  11. Yes.. Kolek should be definitely be brought to the main roster but we need help in the front court.. Dmytro Skapintsev #14, should be brought up along with Hukporti. Hukporti to backup Mitch and Dmytro Skapintsev to come in as a stretch 4 to backup Randle

  12. thedanbeforetime

    hukporti looks like someone who could flourish as a rotation guy under thibs. good motor, pretty nimble for a 7 footer, aggressive on the boards. as a bonus he already has better hands than mitch 😅

  13. ZoidbergSaysWoop

    We’re starting to see that Jokubaitis is more of the DiVincenzo mold as a two, not a true playmaker, and needs to play with a real one.

    Tyler Kolek is the real deal.

    The guy can play.

    Kolek just needs a big that can shoot, and he will thrive with the screen game.

    Kolek and Skapintsev’s chemistry has been solid.

  14. ReturnOfAKidNamedTae

    Honestly I like Baugh and Skapintsev

  15. iamdanabnormal

    It’s obvious the Knicks are doing Washington a solid by giving him run so he can maybe catch on with someone else. He didn’t get a qualifying offer so no harm in letting get some tape out there.

  16. ReturnOfAKidNamedTae

    Drawing a foul by jumping into someone’s turned back is crazy lol

  17. bikes_r_us

    foul baiting like that in a meaningless summer league game makes me sick smh

  18. iamdanabnormal

    Looks like Kolek woke up feeling dangerous and chose violence

  19. YoKemosabe

    Kolek can def be a rotation piece for our team.

  20. ZoidbergSaysWoop

    Tyler Kolek is NBA ready.

    I’m calling it now.

    He breaks into the rotation in the second unit.

    He’s that good.

  21. NYdude777

    Damn Keon Ellis gonna have nightmares with two lefties in them now.

  22. YanksJetsKnicks

    That was awesome, great moment for Kolek

  23. cesarjulius

    very entertaining game from start to finish. kolek and rokas looked very good.
