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.
