New York Knicks' second-round draft pick Tyler Nickel is making an early impression with his long-range shooting during Summer League play. He has now connected on ten three-pointers across his first two games.

Nickel continued to showcase his shooting prowess in the Knicks' recent Las Vegas Summer League contest against the San Antonio Spurs, a game that concluded with a 70-49 loss for New York. The rookie guard added four more successful three-point attempts to his tally in this matchup, converting from beyond the arc on 11 tries.

This performance follows an even more prolific outing from deep in his Summer League debut on Friday. In that game, a loss to the Brooklyn Nets, Nickel drained six of his ten three-point attempts. The Knicks' Summer League squad has struggled offensively in these early games.

💬 SideLine Take

Tyler Nickel's early Summer League shooting displays suggest the Knicks might have unearthed a valuable floor-spacer, a commodity always in demand in today's NBA.
