NBA Draft: Knicks take Frank Ntilikina, French point guard, No. 8 overall

The Knicks have taken French point guard Frank Ntilikina with the eighth overall pick in the 2017 NBA draft.

Ntilikina, 18, said he’s done his homework on the Knicks and the triangle offense, and believes he would do well with them.

“The system there is a good system for me,” Ntilikina said during Wednesday’s availability with draft prospects. “I think I could play in it. The organization is very good. It would be great.”

Ntilikina is only 18 years old, but his frame and skills may fit the triangle better than any of the guards who could be available in the Knicks’ range.
