The New York Knicks eighth overall draft pick in 2015 has been all but forgotten. Frank Ntilikina played just 43 games with the Knicks last year, after playing a near full season (78 games) in 2017-2018.
An elite defender already at 21-years-old, the guard deserves continued faith in his long-term potential in New York. And for the Knicks sake, the team would be better off providing him with that chance this season.
It’s no secret around the league that New York didn’t achieve its free agency aspirations. Still, the Knicks did more than well with the hand it was dealt.
