Because there's been a lot of talk about how we should've taken Smith over Frank. That's going to fuel this talk every time they play each other. I'm actually looking forward to the rivalry. I hope Frank puts the glove on him.

Both are going to be players in this league. Just different styles. Comparing is trash at this point. Ntilikina is going to make a lot of fans very happy.

That's right, they are different types of players, which is another reason I'm glad we picked Frank. I'm really just looking forward to him playing and developing in the type of player we think he can be for us.

Some guys can never learn or get themselves to do this. And honestly I didn't think he could.

I'm in. More in than on KP. He just needs to not bite off more than he can chew yet.

His handle is probably not going to allow it very soon. Needs to wait and polish the dribble before ripping off these moves.

I may have said it previously, but the thing that has me so excited about Ntilikina is that there is a very logical reason to think he was underdrafted - he didn't work out for any teams (I believe, right?), and the league STILL has the International Fear™ running through them, at a subconscious level at the very least. For the most part, the international pick has to work twice as hard to get NBA Draft Street Cred from the people making the selections, even if they're just as good as anyone else.

The same thing happened with KP, and there's even more reason to see it as a viable path for Frank because KP actually held workouts stateside. Frank was a lock top-10 pick entering the year, but then didn't do anything except play his season in France and have a pre-draft meeting with the Knicks. If he's actually LEGIT and involves himself in the whole draft process dog & pony show instead of staying in France all season, he goes before the Knicks pick at 8.

Of course if he's not, then he might have gotten exposed by the draft process and the Knicks overdrafted him. But from what we've seen this offseason there's no reason to think he doesn't have the potential to make an impact. Just like KP, I feel like there's a real chance Ntilikina was underdrafted, and not based on my own scouting or feelings about the player, but on the simple fact that he came from a place that gives FO people reservations AND he didn't do anything to absolve them of their fears.

That's a pretty exciting prospect situation to me. And it's with a guard for once!

yup, im not even gonna front. that dude size is what got me so excited about him. **** HUGE!!!

I still got wood from the Dunc'd On pod calling him obnoxiously dominant on the defensive end.

Wanted him and DSJ. Or some combo of the four guards outside the top 5. Seems like a missed opportunity. But I'm biased because I'm desperate for long term guard solutions instead of the bandaids they've applied for decades.

it's funny you say that. we're running this thing called build a franchise, and i got dsj, jackson,tatum, bam. all on the same team!
was thinking about going frank + DSJ but had to pass on it cause i didn't wanna go broke lol

It feels like we've became so accustomed to losing, we've almost become used to it. That the losing has gotten to us. The dysfunction, the corruption, the inept nature of our entire foundation has rubbed off on us the wrong way.

Our Owner sucks. He's terrible. He really symbolizes what's wrong with America. This dude is a BILLIONAIRE and has never had a real job in his life. He was the product of being born into his riches that allowed him to run Cable Vision. He was the son of the original Cable Vision owner. Think about that. Dude had a lousy communications degree and has zero job experience before being President of Cable Vision and MSG Sports. Silver Spoon clown.

I still love the Knicks.

Ntilikina is OUR guy. I'm sick of y'all being Lakers and Mavericks stans now. No more regret of who you wished we selected. Ntilikina is a 6'6 PG with a really smooth jumper. He hit 78/100 shots in Chris Brinkley's workout. Kevin Durant hits 80. Good shooters hit 70. The kid is literally gumby. He has elite tools that you can't teach. That wingspan is going to be a problem when he learns how to create. A handle can be developed. A lot of people have grown impatient because he didn't play in the Summer league.

Do not be a product of your emotions. Ntilikina is our guy. A 6'6 PG with his skill set is going to be one of the funnest players to watch from a pure basketball standpoint.

This is straight trash in itself. I hate people that think like this as if people choose their damn parents. His dad worked hard so he didn't have to. Plenty of parents set their kids up. Get over it.

I hate slimey trash like yourself who uphold spoiled and privilege children. F*ck his punk ass dad and f*ck Dolan.

Frank is at the very least 6'6". Maybe even 6'7". Cuz LJ was listed at 6'7" during his playing days and Frank looks every bit as tall as him. Even has higher shoulders.

Idk how tall Frank is but I found this article on LJ's height

Mutombo said Larry Johnson, the former Hornets and Knicks forward, was among the biggest exaggerators. While at the Nevada-Las Vegas, Johnson was supposedly 6-7. At the N.B.A.'s annual predraft camp in Chicago, however, he barely topped 6-3.
