Frank Ntilikina has taken a main role with Team France in the 2019 FIBA World Cup. It is an escape from the New York Knicks, weeks before preparation for the 2019-20 NBA season starts, and a chance to rehab some of the value lost since the 2017 draft.
Through two games Ntilikina has teased some of his NBA skills, including a quiet first game and a more expressive second performance, with 12 points, five rebounds, five assists, three steals and one block on 3-for-5 shooting.
At just 21 years old, he has a long future in basketball, whether with the Knicks, another NBA team or internationally.
