Frank Ntilikina worked out with Tim Hardaway Jr. and everything is coming together

He may not be garnering much Rookie of the Year buzz in Vegas, but Knicks lottery pick Frank Ntilikina just keeps putting his nose to the grindstone, doing that W-O-R-K.

But most of that work—at least the work we can see on social media—has been done without the aid of Knicks teammates. Oh, I’m sure he has practiced with some of the end-of-the-roster folks at the team’s Tarrytown facility, but most of the Knicks’ young core is currently overseas preparing for Eurobasket, and Frank’s workouts with trainer-to-the-stars Chris Brickley have felt rather lonely. Except for one video of Frank putting up shots with fellow rookie Donovan Mitchell, the young Gall has mostly avoided the star-studded practices that are Brickley’s specialty.
