Earlier this summer, the Charlotte Hornets added backcourt depth through the NBA Draft and now, that trend has continued with the recent free agent signing of point guard Frank Ntilikina.

A six-year NBA veteran, Ntilikina holds career averages of 4.8 points, 1.8 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 0.7 steals across 316 games with New York and Dallas, 65 of which were starts. Prior to being drafted eighth overall by the Knicks in 2017, Ntilikina played two seasons for France’s SIG Strasbourg, where he was named the LNB Pro A Best Young Player in back-to-back years.

Although born in Belgium, Ntilikina was raised in France and represents the French National Team.
