I realise that Frank was drafted too high and has failed to show really much of anything so far, but he's still really young and with some good coaching I think there's maybe a decent player in there. I don't think he's ever going to be anything special but I wouldn't give up on him just yet, he has shown signs of being able to play some decent defense and I think he's got the potential to at least be a bench player.
for the next couple of years of his life frank ntilikina will make a living in the nba based off of his 'defensive' reputation, but i kid you not this is the biggest fvcking myth in the league. he certainly looks the part and has the length/body to be an elite nba defender, but he's just a fckin high effort try-hard on that end of the court without anything to show for it. opposing guards come to MSG and clap his fcking cheeks on the regular all the fcking time. this is not hyperbole, this occurs on the fckin regular. enough is e-freaking-nough. he is not worth the words i am giving to this post
his knick career is literally being held up right now by fans who are, and i again want to iterate that this is not hyperbole, borderline gay for him and literally go crazy over any little menial thing that he does. they literally jerk off to the 'drip' he wears prior to arriving to the games like it's a fcking accomplishment, and to top it all off he doesn't even fcking dress well. 5 PPG derriere player 3 years in a row for the 8th overall pick, let's call a spade a spade.
i honestly cannot think of anybody else in the league that comes away with so little from the supposed 'talent' or 'potential' they seem to possess. everything else aside, that would make him the worst player in the league for me, but then i remember that this team also has dennis sniff jr
there is nothing enjoyable about this team. there is so much truth to what heismanberg posted. we can postulate about the moves that the knicks could and should make, but chances are more than anything we'll trade RJ and Mitch to go for guys like chris paul and kevin love. MSG will continue to sell out
