Tyler Kolek - Fills up box score vs. Charlotte Kolek logged seven points (2-9 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine assists and eight rebounds across 24 minutes in Tuesday's 111-105 preseason win over the Hornets.
Impact Kolek saw more playing time Tuesday as Jalen Brunson and the rest of the Knicks' starters rested. Kolek didn't shoot particularly well from the floor, but he managed to lead the Knicks in assists and was third in rebounding behind Precious Achiuwa (16) and Jericho Sims (10). Kolek, the Knicks' rookie second-round pick, will likely see limited playing time as he serves as the third point guard on the depth chart behind Brunson and Cameron Payne.

Pacôme Dadiet - Scores 16 points in return Dadiet logged 16 points (6-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds and one steal over 28 minutes in Tuesday's 111-105 preseason win over the Hornets.
Impact Dadiet missed the Knicks' last two preseason contests due to a sprained finger, but the rookie first-round pick was able to return Tuesday and led the bench in scoring. Dadiet's playing time will likely be limited to start the regular season and he'll offer a complimentary role behind starters Mikal Bridges, Josh Hart and OG Anunoby.
OCTOBER 16 • ROTOWIRE
Precious Achiuwa - Dominant showing in spot start Achiuwa supplied 20 points (8-15 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 16 rebounds and three assists across 35 minutes in Tuesday's 111-105 preseason win over the Hornets.
Impact Achiuwa was inserted into the starting five Tuesday as the Knicks' typical starters rested in the penultimate preseason contest. Achiuwa took advantage of the extended playing time, grabbing a game-high 16 boards (including six on the offensive side of the floor), and he showed off his extended range by connecting on two of three three-point attempts. Achiuwa should see more playing time off the bench to start the 2024-25 regular season while Mitchell Robinson continues to work through a left ankle injury.
