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.”
Marquette point guard Tyler Kolek's workout Thursday with the Phoenix Suns "went well," sources informed The Republic on Friday.

Tennessee wing Dalton Knecht might go in the top 10. Providence guard Devin Carter just tagged an impressive junior year with some strong testing at the draft combine. Purdue center Zach Edey is one of the most interesting players in the draft and projected to be a fringe lottery pick. Marquette point guard Tyler Kolek, Colorado forward Tristan da Silva and Creighton wing Baylor Scheierman are all projected first-round picks who could land higher than expected on draft night. That will again bring an important question to the forefront as teams make their decisions: Does age matter in the draft?
