If the Knicks’ last two lottery picks were stocks, they’d be tanking.
It’s been an inglorious November for 2017 first-round selection Frank Ntilikina and 2018 first-rounder Kevin Knox. Ntilikina was selected eighth, Knox ninth — but neither has come close to playing up to that status, leaving league personnel, including some coaches, less than glowing in their assessments.
According to those interviewed, Knox settles too fast for 3-point shots and refuses to move the ball. Ntilikina was cited for not having the wherewithal to play point guard, and one person even called the Frenchman an overrated defender.
