The growth of Frank Ntilikina: He's taller and stronger for second season

GREENBURGH, N.Y. -- Frank Ntilikina arrived in New York last season as an anomaly, a 19-year-old point guard with a 7-foot wingspan and little experience. So what to make of him now that he reported to camp an inch and a half taller at 6-foot-6 with 15 pounds of muscle added to his slender frame?

The most important thing right now might be that he comes with healthy knees and ankles this year after spending the summer before his rookie season sitting out summer league and then playing just two preseason games. That set him back as he struggled at times through his rookie season.
