I’m surprised we are not hearing more about serious minutes for Tyler Kolek. He is probably the best passer on the team and when he gets regular minutes would be one of the Knicks’ better three-point shooters. When you add those strengths along with the fact he signed a four-year deal, you’d think the scouts and front office liked him a lot when they drafted him. Tyler is also 24 years old, so he’s no baby. I just hope he is not a throw in for some deal and he comes back to haunt us.

Huk is another second-year player who I’d think should have potential as a rotation guy. His play improved until he tore up his knee. It is possible of course Huk is not making as much progress on his rehabilitation as we would hope.

Dadiet makes a bit more sense as a player who needs more growth. He is still only 19 (turns 20 at the end of the month) so maybe another season at the end of the bench will allow him to practice with the big boys and be able to contribute in the 2026/27 season.

In terms of signing that tenth player, ideally the Knicks would find a guard with size, who is a competent three-point shooter and a good defender. Of course, a player like this is not out in the wilderness looking for a team. Does that mean the Knicks are looking to trade for such a player? Almost every trade the Rose administration acquired came out of the clear blue with no rumors at all.

Hoping we get a Mike Brown presser this week. Like everyone, I'm eager to hear what he has to say about the roster.

And I'm excited for summer league, too. With Brown at the helm, it feels possible someone pops and earns some minutes.

I'm most curious, though, to see what else is in store. Sounds likely they'll add a veteran, but between the extension situations and possible trades, I think there's a chance we're not done. I'd be shocked if they traded Hart - they've done a lot to surprise us, but trading JB's best friend is a bridge too far (especially when you just fired the coach he grew up with) - but I could see Robinson (or even Bridges) on the move.
