Frank Ntilikina is an intriguing work in progress

Frank Ntilikina didn’t resurrect his career with the Dallas Mavericks, but he did prove he can hang on an NBA roster. That sounds trivial, but it’s important. There are some in his draft class who are already out of the league (I won’t name names, because it makes me sad).

Ntilikina appeared in 58 games for the Mavericks, up from the 33 he appeared in for the New York Knicks in 2020-21. Ntilikina didn’t stand out for Dallas, but he at least saw some playing time when the situation was right. In New York, he got consistent DNP-Coach’s Decisions.
