KNICKS SIGN FORMER BIG EAST PLAYER OF THE YEAR TO FOUR-YEAR CONTRACT
The Knicks have signed rookie guard Tyler Kolek to a four-year, $9.06M contract, a league source tells Fred Katz of The Athletic.
The transaction was completed using the second-round pick exception. Kolek will earn the maximum possible salary over the first three years, though the fourth year is non-guaranteed, per Katz (it’s also a team option).
New York acquired the rights to Kolek, the 34th overall pick, by trading three future second-rounders to Portland.
A 23-year-old point guard, Kolek had an impressive senior season for Marquette in 2023-24, averaging 15.3 PPG, 4.9 RPG, 7.7 APG and 1.2 SPG on .496/.388/.851 shooting in 31 games (33.0 MPG).
