Rumors

Knicks rookie guard Tyler Kolek was named the MVP of the G-League Showcase after leading Westchester to the title over Sioux Falls with 22 points and 11 assists Sunday night in Orlando, Fla. Kolek, who has appeared in 18 games for the Knicks this season, and fellow rookies Pacome Dadiet and Ariel Hukporti were recalled before Monday’s game against the Raptors. “I like the fact that [Kolek] did it within a team concept, that he came into the game and he made some 3s, but his playmaking was terrific, as well,” Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau said of Kolek, a second-round pick out of Marquette. “I think it’s great, a great accomplishment. … For the guys that are up and down, that’s not easy. Tyler played a great game, but they played as a team, and it’s a terrific accomplishment. So we’re really proud of them.”

There is a strong expectation around the league that both Ryan (who has some Westchester ties) and Shamet (who was destined to make the Knicks' Opening Night roster before sustaining a separated shoulder) will play for the Knicks this season when they have to add players.

Walker was named to the All-Tournament team, along with Westchester guard Brandon Goodwin (the MVP), Delaware’s Darius Bazley, Osceola’s Trevelin Queen and Raptors 905’s Jontay Porter. Queen and Porter are already on two-ways, but Goodwin is a free agent who can be signed by anyone, making him one of the few players of genuine immediate interest to talent evaluators. An undersized guard who is no longer two-way eligible because he has four years of NBA experience, he is likely to be a popular target once 10-day contracts can be signed Jan. 5, especially after showing more passing chops in Orlando than we’d seen in his previous NBA stops.
