Frank Ntilikina joins a long list of people who is relieved that the Knicks didn’t trade Kristaps Porzingis on draft night. Ntilikina believes he can flourish with Porzingis.
“We’re both European,” Ntilikina said. “We both have a good IQ and playing pick-and-roll with him will be great. I just know that I will play great with him.”
The Knicks used the No. 8 pick in Thursday’s draft on Ntilikina, believing the French guard was the right piece to add to their rebuild and their system.
Ntilikina and Porzingis probably would be terrific in pick-and-rolls together, but it remains to be seen how much of that the Knicks will run.
