Donovan Mitchell was the breakout star from the 2017 NBA Draft class. The New York Knicks passed on him to take Frank Ntilikina and the two have struck up a friendship. So much so, that Ntilikina returned from working out in France to help Mitchell run a youth basketball camp in Greenwich, Connecticut.
Ntilikina spoke to Stefan Bondy and Eric Barrow of the New York Daily News about Mitchell’s incredible rookie season. Ntilikina would go on to say:
“Seeing a good friend play the way he was playing, seeing him carry his team like that, it was a great feeling for me and all of his friends.
