Frank Ntilikina, the French Pro A playoffs and unique challenge of evaluating Euro prospects

The French basketball club SIG Strasbourg will take the court Tuesday evening (Tuesday afternoon for us in the U.S.) against ASVEL in Game 1 the Pro A semifinals. Normally we Knicks fans would not give much of a crap about a French pro league game, but this matchup will feature possible draft pick Frank Ntilikina.

I won’t go so far as to predict today’s winner, but I will venture this guess: Ntilikina won’t put up impressive numbers. He had his best game of last week’s quarterfinal series in the decisive Game 3, with 7 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists.
