Frank Ntilikina has spent his time since being drafted by the Knicks in a perpetual state of uncertainty. And as he enters what could be his final year with the franchise it is no different.
Ntilikina was drafted as the last major move of the Phil Jackson era in New York, selected as a lottery pick just days before Jackson was fired. The longest-tenured player on the Knicks roster, he has seen four coaches in four seasons, nagging injuries, a procession of journeymen point guards propped up in front of him and various roles handed out to him.
