Watched most of it, not many passing highlights. I guess what surprises me about the willingness to trade Kolek is that he showed elite passing ability, in spite of playing some of the fewest minutes in the league for a rook, relative to where he was drafted. Was Kolek the worst prospect in the league?

As a rookie to have the most efficient passing game over a two game stretch in NBA history. In spite of being at the bottom of rookie minutes is impressive. Did it twice which showed it wasnt a fluke.

If the FO has some big deal in mind(a good one) and wants to include Kolek because he came back and didnt show enough improvement with shooting and D. That I could understand.

Regardless of his age, rookies who can pass like that arent seen often. And the chance of drafting a player who can pass like that even more remote. So I hope he gets a chance to show what he worked on over the summer.

Dont want to read about fans from other teams laughing how we gave up Kolek for a bag of chips. Wouldnt call this season a legit opportunity for any of the rooks.

Passing highlights at 50 second mark. I'm not saying if Kolek has "it" or not. I like his passing but I'm concerned with the hesitancy he had attacking the rim during his late season stint. I hope Kolek shows out. It would alleviate some roster concerns.but this front office is pushing all it's chips in and anyone who thought they it did a bad job with the young players before is going to be in for a shock moving forward.

Yep, all the rooks will have to show out with a team which has championship aspirations. Other teams, contenders, played their rooks more than we did. So the Knicks can develop players without sacrificing their competitiveness. All we have to do is not play our starters more than any other team in the last 30 plus years!
