Tyler Kolek’s Jumper Could Change Knicks | New York Knicks News

Tyler Kolek’s breakout season hinges on one critical skill: mastering his pull-up jumper. With flashes of 38% efficiency from deep last year—and just two attempts per 36 minutes—he’s got the touch but needs to be more aggressive creating shots, both beyond and inside the arc. Adding a reliable floater would seal the deal. His spot-up shooting (over 40% from three) proves he’s got the feel, but it’s time to expand his offensive arsenal. The Knicks’ stacked backcourt—with Alvarado, Shamet, McBride, and Clarkson all competing—creates the perfect pressure cooker for growth. This internal battle is exactly what pushed Kolek into playing time last year and could elevate him into a must-play role this season. If he nails that pull-up game, he could reshape the roster, force rotations, and unlock the Knicks’ full potential—even after their championship run.
