New York Knicks: Summer League’s impact on the youth shows early

In a potential rebuild year, the New York Knicks have a roster consumed with players that own five or fewer seasons of experience, with the majority under three 82-game campaigns. However, further down the roster, rookies and sophomores will play a part in 2018-19.

Some of the youth received time in the Summer League, which resulted in experience for players like Kevin Knox and Frank Ntilikina, who will enter his second go-around in the NBA this fall.

“Yeah. I think going taking that lap through the NBA, going through the bumps and bruises, getting a Summer League under [Frank Ntilikina’s] belt,” said Knicks head coach David Fizdale at Thursday’s practice, according to Marc Berman of The New York Post.
