Frank Ntilikina is showing signs of potential this season. The eighth pick of the 2017 draft may be the answer to the prayers of New York Knicks fans. Although at times he has looked out of his element, his defense has been fantastic.
He is currently averaging three steals per 36 minutes and has had some encouraging defensive possessions against elite NBA players.
Need proof? Take a gander at these clips of Ntilikina shutting down James Harden in these situations. Of course, Harden had 35 points in only 31 minutes of play, but the raw defensive talent is there for Ntilikina.
