The New York Knicks selected Tyler Kolek with the 34th overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, and the 24-year-old is verging on bust status as Ajay Mitchell is playing like a starter for defending champs. New York thought they were getting an elite passer, but Kolek has been abysmal on both ends of the floor in his first two seasons. He is getting chances every night under new head coach Mike Brown, but that must stop immediately.
The 6’1 guard is averaging 3.2 points and 1.3 assists in 8.8 minutes per game through six contests.
