Mike Brown comments on Knicks’ backup guard role amid Tyler Kolek’s rise

Tyler Kolek has emerged as a consistent rotation player for the New York Knicks. In the Knicks' recent 117-85 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks, Kolek tallied 12 points in 15 minutes off the bench. Head coach Mike Brown acknowledged the fluid nature of the team's rotation, indicating that Kolek's solid performances have earned him increased playing time. While Miles McBride saw more minutes, Kolek's role may have surpassed that of Jose Alvarado, who played minimally. Brown emphasized the importance of all players being ready to contribute when called upon.
