While watching one of my favorite NBA YouTuber, Rusty Bucket’s video on the impact Marcus Smart has for the Celtics on a nightly basis, it made me think about how the NY Knicks have their very own version of him in Frank Ntilikina.
In no way, shape, or form am I saying that Frank Ntilikina is as good as Marcus Smart, but the intangibles are there, he just needs to further develop them.
During the 4 years he’s been in the NBA, his development, or lack thereof has had a lot to do with the turmoil that the Knicks have faced in the time since he’d been drafted.
