Marquette’s Shaka Smart thinks Knicks will be ‘real fit’ for Tyler Kolek
NY Post
After three years with Tyler Kolek, Shaka Smart is bullish on his future.
He’s certain.
The Knicks got a keeper in their second-round pick out of Marquette, someone who will mesh well with the culture that has been established by coach Tom Thibodeau, Jalen Brunson and Co.
Kolek was considered a potential first-round pick after leading the nation in assists.
He ended up falling out of the opening round, and had to wait a day to hear his name called.
But the Knicks scooped him up with the 34th overall pick in the draft, and showed they valued him, signing him to a four-year, $9.06 million contract.
With the Yankees on an impressive run of mostly correct decisions, there’s some reason to leave them alone and just let the best team in the American League continue to roll. But they did raise serious doubt and leave room for suggestions (and even ridicule) following maybe the most inexplicable decision of this season, or any season.
The Giants have never been 0-2 under Brian Daboll, until now. They were 2-0 and flying high in 2022 and 1-1 after a rousing comeback in Arizona in 2023. So, this represents a low point as far as early-season difficulties for Daboll and the Giants. They had no business beating the Vikings in the opener and no business losing to the Commanders in Week 2. But here they are.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Harrison Butker kept making a lonely walk to midfield after each quarter Sunday to check on the direction of the wind, which tends to swirl inside Arrowhead Stadium. He did it one last time during the 2-minute warning, when his Chiefs were trailing the Bengals by two and trying to give him a winning field-goal attempt.
