Kolek has 7 assists.

I don't think Kolek can do this against every team obviously, but he's a rookie that's turning 24 next week, he should have gotten minutes all season, especially against young teams. This being his first real playing time since Jan 1st is just mind boggling.

I want to go to sleep now but I’m going to miss watching Kolek play ughh

Deuce played. Thibs is only finally playing Kolek because he's last man on deck with Deuce out tonight

he such a dinosaur

He's completely out of touch with how to use this roster.

Get him outta here.

Again, it's only because he's short-handed

7 assist and 3 steals in 11 mins and this coach doesn’t let him sniff the floor all season. Rather burn out our starters. Unbelievable. Especially when a pure floor general is what we desperately need!

7 assists and 3 steals and +15 in his first meaningful qtr of play of the season

mcbride and brunson are both out and he's next in line after cam. i don't think there's any conspiracy here.

Dorks on here make it really hard to like these rookies cause they act like having a nice lil run against the tanking wiz makes their dipsht Stockton comparisons legit.

Van Gundy once buried Camby on the bench.

Kolek +15. Payne +10. I'm so off on Deuce, but even so, he should never be put in a position to try to run the offense.

this!

a b2b game against CHA, a game against the spurs for example....a team like POR.

No one is saying he needs to be in the rotation right now against the top teams like BOS or CLE...but there are enough games on the schedule some of these guys could have been in the game getting valuable experience and helping the team.

Leftie Mark Price, sorry but Stockton is insane and we're not putting that on Kolek, be better!

I understand but Deuce has played the 2 next to Payne and Brunson most of the season. He could have played the 2 next Kolek and Payne against the Hornets.
