Jeff Hornacek answered some questions about Jarrett Jack and the possibility of starting Frank Ntilikina. He says Frank isn’t ready to start at the moment but coaches are always evaluating the possibility of putting him in that role:

Ian Begley
Jeff Hornacek said today that Jarrett Jack will continue to start ahead of rookie Frank Ntilikina. "Frank's still developing. Trey(Burke) is coming in there. But I think the thought at the beginning of the year was maybe Frank at some point would become that guy. But he's still trying to grasp having to go out there every single night and play so I don't know if we're quite there. But he's learning from Jarrett, he's learning from Trey – things that they're doing."

Most rookies aren't ready, but are allowed to play through mistakes. That's why it's called development.

But of course the Knicks have important games to win, and we're too good for development. Being 23-31 with Jarrett Jack is better than being 17-37 with Frank Ntilikina. Because Knicks.

It doesn't matter anymore. Even if we beat Milwaukee tomorrow the schedule gets hard. We play some playoff teams on the road. It's going to come to the point where we will have to play .700 basketball to get in the playoffs. Which would be impossible and perry and mills know that. When that happens all the vets are going to sit.

Just let Frank's knee heal. I want to see him close the year strong.

The reason Frank isn't starting is because Jeff is dumb.

Frank clearly isn't ready to start yet so why should they rush him? The goal the season should be to get him adjusted to NBA play, get him some quality minutes to learn from his mistakes and keep him healthy. Frank has what it takes to be a great player but lets develop him right.

I can argue that Jarrett Jack is no longer capable of starting as well.

He's not ready. Go ahead and start him. Will probably demoralize him out of the league

LMAO the fact you would refer to Burke as a G-League player like he wasn't the 9th overall pick a few years ago after being named the NCAA POTY who already has 276 NBA games played shows you know nothing.....

Hornecek is an idiot but Ntilikina hasn't been good either.

I would agree but, he needs to play with KP more than he does. However that's possible. If he can't take lumps learning on the job...is he really the guy you want running the N.Y. Knicks?

Trey and Frank should get the majority of the PG minutes either way. That's not happening either.

Start shmart. He should get extended time when he's playing well. That, I'll never understand.

we're still in the playoff race

starting frank would just be throwing in the towel, dolan would prob **** on horny if he did that

sucks i rather we tank and play frank, better to find out if he's a scrub early in his career so we can dump him off while he still has value IMO, sorry to you frank lovers

Technically the Atlanta Hawks are still in the playoff race too. That doesn't mean that either team has a realistic chance of making it.

Frank is very far from being ready
It’s not just his development at stake
I don’t want his laissefaire attitude and lack of scoring interest to screw with kps growth
