player. 27. It’s no secret how much the New York Knicks covet Frank Ntilikina. A long and tall combo guard from France, Ntilikina showed tremendous growth as a shooter this past season for Strasbourg. At 6’5″ with a rumored 7’1″ wingspan, he has the tools to be an excellent defender. He’s not there yet, still very young and inconsistent, but the potential is there. Ntilikina will have to do a better job at finishing and passing in the lane to be a full-time point guard, which is why he’s more of a combo guard for now. That makes him an odd fit for the triangle in New York, but his game does bode well to playing with <a rel=. PG/SG. Strasbourg. Frank Ntilikina. 8
