Summer League Recap: Kolek, Beauchamp Lead Knicks; Saraf and Traore Struggle for Nets

In Summer League action, the Knicks came out on top of the Nets behind strong efforts from Tyler Kolek and MarJon Beauchamp. Brooklyn’s Ben Saraf and Nolan Traore continued to contribute defensively but struggled offensively.

New York Knicks

Tyler Kolek – Commanding the Offense

Kolek delivered his best Summer League performance yet, showing improved shooting and floor leadership.

MIN	PTS	REB	AST	STL	BLK	TO	FG	3PT	FT
32:50	25	2	4	4	0	4	7-17	5-12	6-6

Kolek’s outside shooting (5 made threes) and defensive activity (4 steals) stood out as he directed the Knicks’ offense effectively.

MarJon Beauchamp – Consistent Scoring

Beauchamp continued to put points on the board and attack the rim.

MIN	PTS	REB	AST	STL	BLK	TO	FG	3PT	FT
29:01	25	5	2	2	0	4	7-17	2-9	9-9

Beauchamp’s ability to draw fouls and convert at the line (9-for-9 FT) gave the Knicks a consistent offensive option.

Brooklyn Nets

Ben Saraf – Inconsistent on Offense

Saraf worked hard on defense and made some plays but was inefficient offensively.

MIN	PTS	REB	AST	STL	BLK	TO	FG	3PT	FT
29:56	11	3	3	2	1	2	4-13	0-1	3-4

Despite his struggles shooting, Saraf’s defensive energy and willingness to attack the basket keep him on the radar.

Nolan Traore – Offensive Struggles Continue

Traore again had a tough night shooting, unable to find much rhythm.

MIN	PTS	REB	AST	STL	BLK	TO	FG	3PT	FT
19:13	2	1	2	0	0	1	1-8	0-2	0-0

Traore’s shot selection and confidence in his jumper remain areas for improvement, though he continues to contribute in other areas.

Scout’s Take

For dynasty managers, Tyler Kolek is worth monitoring in deeper leagues — his assist-to-turnover ratio and improving jumper give him sleeper appeal as a future backup PG. MarJon Beauchamp’s free-throw reliability and defensive stats would make him a valuable contributor in most formats.

Ben Saraf and Nolan Traore remain long-term projects. Saraf’s defensive upside and hustle give him deep-league potential, while Traore’s inefficiency limits his value for now. Both are better viewed as stash candidates rather than immediate contributors.
