I hope the depth will just improve organically next year via Kolek and Huk.

Don't forget pacom and mcullar, who could be the wing we needed.

Thibs was smart to bring the bench along slowly, coming together now.

He knew what he was doing all along?

[KnixinSix]

Can u believe the Thibs ?!!!!

KNICKS REALITY DOSE THE GRIZZLIES

THIBS STARTS GIVING THE STARTERS MORE REST and see WHAT HAPPENS!!!

[LFGK]

Way to many minutes played by thibs should have somehow cut the game short

[KnixinSix]

This is the most complete win of the season against a good opponent.

It is also the most well distributed minutes by Thibs this season too.

Good win

Kolek is gonna be a key piece.

He's a huge piece because he is the true backup PG, not Payne or Deuce

That's a good thing. I appreciate all of their skills sets

They are useful.

They're all useful. That's what the bench is meant to provide.

But, mark my words, Kolek is too important to not integrate into the rotation by playoff time.

Kolek is going to show he's a world class facilitator given the minutes. Cam and Deuce can still play next to him

Kolek is an EXTREMELY intriguing offensive player. However we will need to see a level of defensive consistency for him to get significant minutes.

Jalen Brunson plays defense. Kolek plays defense. Neither is impactful on the defensive end. That's not why they are on the floor. When the squad plays effective team defense even Brunson's contributions on D matter and it would be no different for Kolek.

Sorry, but the line that Kolek plays no D, therefore he sits is false. If that were true, then Julius Randle would have been a DNP all last season.
