New York Knicks: 3 reasons to love Frank Ntilikina’s season so far

The New York Knicks seem to have established Frank Ntilikina as their starting point guard for the season, resulting in him playing at a higher level.

Before the 2018-19 season even started, a certain question was often asked, regarding the New York Knicks. Who starts at point guard?

During the first five games of the season, we experienced a rather peculiar lineup with Trey Burke running the point and Frank Ntilikina playing as a shooting guard. Since the 1-4 start to the season, Trey Burke has moved to the bench with Ntilikina taking over the starting point guard spot.

With Kristaps Porzingis out, more and more players seem to be stepping up like Tim Hardaway Jr. and Allonzo Trier. Even though not every Knicks fan would agree, Ntilikina is also silently stepping up for the team.

Ntilikina was drafted with the eighth pick in the 2017 NBA Draft with high hopes of him being the team’s point guard for the future. After a season with no All-Rookie selections, Frank seems to have returned to action better than before.

Here are three reasons why New York Knicks fans should love Frank Ntilikina’s start to the 2018-19 season thus far.
