It only took one quarter for Tyler Kolek to remind everyone of his upside

Related Topics: Tyler Kolek

Tyler Kolek was horrendous through the Knicks' first two summer league games, no matter how you slice it. His shooting was abysmal, he had nine turnovers, and he looked completely lost on the defensive end of the ball. However, in the first quarter of the Knicks' third summer league game, Kolek reminded everyone why the Knicks drafted him.

In 10 minutes against the rival Brooklyn Nets, Kolek dropped 14 points, dished out two assists, and added three steals. He shot 66.7 percent from the floor and 50 percent from three while going perfect from the charity stripe. Perhaps most importantly, Kolek didn't turnover the ball at all in the game's opening frame, something that haunted him to start summer league.
