Frank Ntilikina is GROWING!

[Rocketsbaby]

This kid already plays defense at an elite level, he's just 19.

He could be a taller Marcus Smart but I think his shooting will be much better, I hope he can somehow develop into a Billups / Conley / Holiday type of player, some of the most underrated players in the league.

I think those are solid comparisons. I think you could throw a Nic Batum type in there. Just a guy that will put up solid all around numbers, not dominant scorers but smart players that don't hurt you anywhere and play both sides of the ball well.

His major problem last year was confidence and strength. He has all of the tools to be a good player and his work ethic and desire to improve seem to be there. Let's see if he can put it all together.

Billups makes sense when I think of the old wise sage veteran Billups. Not when you think about the 40 point gunner at Colorado. I mean Frank was never gonna put up 40 in the NCAA like Billups. I think that's a decent comp though

He's 6'6" now? He's entering the MCW and Exum territory. Uh-oh.

I was thinking Livingston's current game, solid defender, able to post up and get consistentn results with a limited set of shots over smaller defenders, soome ability to run offense as backup PG?
