Frank Ntilikina is coming to New York. That could be where he plays.
The French guard is flying here for Thursday’s NBA Draft. He’s one of the players the Knicks are considering with the eighth pick.
A league source said the Knicks have shown great interest in Ntilikina, and scouted him extensively in France. But the Mavericks also are said to be “all in” on Ntilikina, according to an ESPN report.
The report said that Vincent Collet, Ntilikina’s coach in France, would be working on the Mavericks’ staff during summer league. Mavericks owner Mark Cuban and president Donnie Walsh traveled to Europe to meet with Ntilikina recently.
