Official Frank Ntilikina Thread

So Frank is 6'7, 225 with a 7'2 wingspan right now.

Forget the PG and shooting stuff, dude is gonna be Draymond Green.

still looks slo-mo.

It took him a fortnite to get to the rim...and he technically never even made it there. Yowzahs!

I see people still trying to mad science a favorable lineup so Frank can play some position, ANY position. Oh, a 6'7" point center who turtle leaks out the corner for missed 3's you say? Sign me up for some of that.

Damn Baller, that's too harsh on a 21-year-old who really hasn't gotten a chance. The young man has fluid shooting mechanics, unlike our two other point guards.

In the end, you could be right. But let's see what happens.

And fck RJ Bust.

It appears no one in the Federation wants to help you out, so you'll just have to suffer!

Personally I’d like to see him finish stronger i.e. not falling. He’s a big boy now.

The layup was weak and lucky-lookin’ anyway. Not impressed. I need to see some finishing ability that shows actual touch, creativity and putting some english on it. For all the crap RJ gets about his lack of athleticism, he always looks purposeful when he goes to the rack. Never flukey.

Some of the takes in here are why it makes me happy as the team continues to suck.

It's kind of like politics in the USA. Fans and voters get the team and government they exactly deserve.

He's not new to the game and he was supposed to be more polished (maybe not flashy) because of his Euro experience. What I've seen from him so far is the kind of demeanor that warrants the dreaded "Soft Euro" tag so many have tried to shake. I don't want to be harsh but American born players who show tons more on the offensive side at the same age get tossed aside when their team is losing (See DSJr), Corey Booker. What people here have done is blame everyone else because they are so enamored with the flash of the ONLY positive about Frank. I'd rather have Dotson - a decent scorer, an adequate defender and a calming general when the kids play - over a quiet, passive 21 yr old whose only plus is the occasional spurt of elite lockdown defense. It's especially disturbing when his supporters are so fixated on being right that they will never say they were wrong. I'll come back every night, eat so much crow and give respect to those who said I gave up way too early if/when Frank pops. But I'd put $$$ on it that if he were traded and flopped elsewhere, his supporters would either change subjects, go dark or blame the Knicks for him not progressing years later. That's why I'm relentless.

FIBA World Cup starts August 31 so I'm assuming any tape of current Frank will be in over a month from now aside from Instagram clips of people practicing

No he wasn't. He was a raw, high school senior aged draft pick that was an acknowledged work in progress. His lack of clear progress in season two is definitely worrisome but he was always a project pick where the hope was that his defense could keep him on the court long enough to develop offensively...still waiting on the offensive development but it's worth another season to see where he goes imo, especially considering line-ups that paired him with a shotblocker showed promising team stats (the Frank/Mitch tandem last season when he started at PG briefly and his splits on the court with KP the year before).

This is incorrect. Dennis Smith JR started all his games in Dallas. He was given a whole lot of chances and leeway. We could only wish the same for Frank. He was not tossed aside either. He was traded for KP who was maxed out. Don’t know much about Corey Booker other than the politician.

Dotson’s role has been inconsistent as well by the way.

[seren]

Ideally Frank had been the starting point guard for the last two years, getting 28-30 mpg, running the offense. We would have a good idea what he is and what he can be. Similar to how Dallas evaluated DSJr or Utah with Burke for familiar names. Instead our two coaches wanted to bring Jack back to the league and fix Mudiay for Utah’s deep playoff run. Next job is to turn around Payton’s career so he can be a backup somewhere.

Cory Booker was a guard on the Oxford University basketball team. His minutes were heavily reduced once "fundamentally sound" Canadian Olympic (women's) basketball player Jodie Evans joined the team.
