The development of second-year guard Frank Ntilikina will be a hot topic among Knicks fans this season. Head coach David Fizdale is a big fan of Ntilikina and recently compared him to NBA champion Shaun Livingston.
After practice, Fizdale told Ian Begley of ESPN the following:
David Fizdale was asked today if he sees any Shaun Livingston in Frank Ntilikina. He talks about some similarities between Livingston and how he views Ntilikina here. Also, Fizdale reiterates that his starting lineups, particularly early in the year, won’t be set in stone: pic.
