Frank Ntilikina’s strength training starting to pay dividends
Frank NtilikinaKnicks coach Jeff Hornacek knows Frank Ntilikina needs to get stronger next season. But his physical growth already has started.
Hornacek revealed the skinny 6-foot-5, 19-year-old Frenchman has put on eight pounds since the start of the season. That development, he believes, has helped him on the offensive side, too.
“You could see some of the things happening to him earlier in the season aren’t necessarily happening now,’’ Hornacek said before the Knicks beat the Heat 122-98 at the Garden on Friday. “That’s great in his development. He’s only going to get bigger and stronger. Our trainers are working with him hard every day to improve on those things.’’
