I know ppl will point to him being a rookie but I hope Thibs tests Kolek in the preseason running the 2nd unit. Koleks floor presence and command of the offense would be super helpful if Thibs decides to run a 2nd unit with no Brunson and Randle and keep an up tempo pace.

I’m honestly a little pessimistic that we’ll see much of him early on. He looked great running the show in SL but it’s really hard to step in and play PG right away as a rook. I was also disappointed in his defense in SL as he had a number of bad blow-bys where he didn’t even slow down his man. I thought his defense was better than that. Thibs will definitely not play him if he can’t defend.

how about a compilation of great defensive plays, because that’s the reason he might not play much this year. everyone knows his playmaking is next level.
