Welcome to another NYK101 class, where we focus on a statement, a question and a suggestion. Times are good these days in Knicksville. Let’s dive into some of that.
STATEMENT: Frank Ntilikina belongs in Tom Thibodeau’s 10-man rotation.
Seven Knicks have both positive on-court and on/off ratings this season. There is Julius Randle, an All-Star and midseason Most Improved Player contender (more on him below). There’s RJ Barrett, whose shooting slash from his rookie year till now is up (40/32/61 vs. 44/35/73) along with his assist rate while his turnovers are down.
