New York Knicks: 3 players likely to struggle in 2019-20

2. Frank Ntilikina

This may be getting a bit tiresome but Frank Ntilikina could be up for yet another disappointing season.

Ntilikina somehow managed to build on a terrible rookie season by following it with an even worse sophomore season. His averages either stayed at the rock bottom level they already were or slightly dropped while spending the exact same amount of time on the court.

Where it gets really ugly, though, is when we take a look at his shooting percentages. By comparing his two first seasons in the NBA, one can safely assume that he will forever remain without an offensive game of any kind.

Last season, he shot a hideous 33.7 percent from the field, topping it off with an even worse 28.7 percent from behind the arc. Frank ranked dead last in field goal percentage amongst players with over 200 total field goal attempts.

On the plus side, Ntilikina is an excellent perimeter defender and can grow to become an All-Defensive player. A defender like Frank is always appreciated on a team, though his complete lack of offensive productivity might come back to haunt him.

Ntilikina is now the longest-tenured Knick, as funny as it may seem. Nevertheless, it would be great to see at least one of Phil Jackson’s draft selections turn out to be beneficial to the team. Even if it means being the last one he ever made for the team.
