According to SNY’s Ian Begley, the New York Knicks are using the beginning of training camp as a “tryout” for Frank Ntilikina. It makes sense in some aspects, but honestly, it is ridiculous.
Ntilikina is coming off a strong showing in the FIBA World Cup for his home country of France. He showed improvements with his shot, confidence and aggressiveness which were big concerns for the Knicks. His coach and teammates raved about Ntilikina’s ability and work ethic.
There were even rumblings of him being the future face of France basketball. The talent is there, but maybe not yet.
