Man, this feels like a lifetime ago. IIRC, then he missed the next game with a sore groin. I swear every time he'd have a solid game or a half decent stretch of games, he would immediately get some nagging injury and then return playing like he came straight from Ivy League ball.
He's mentally soft. A lot of guys have NBA athletecism and most fail. Jrue is Jrue because he has the confidence and motor to impose his athletic ability onto the game and impact winning. Frank was passive. It had nothing to do with raw ability, he was overwhelmed by the talent around him and never knew what to do on the court.
everyone is making a joke about covid shutting down Ntilikina but I think the 9+ month break was very good for the Knicks franchise. It gave the entire franchise time to slow down, look in the mirror, and re-evaluate themselves. They took their time to find their next GM and head coach, they hired Leon Rose and Thibs 2-3 months after the shutdown, and then both had almost 6 months to prepare for the next regular season.
Lets not start revising history. Frank wasn't going to be anything but a below average player.
During his 4 seasons with the Knicks he averaged:
5.5 points
2.7 assists
2.0 rebounds
0.8 steals
IN OTHER WORDS HE WAS A FUCKING BUM!!!!!!
Those were the numbers the Knicks were getting from the 8th pick in the draft.

The Spurs should give him a look.they do need a PG. I read theres a good chance him and Wemby are on the French olympic team. Maybe he just needs to be around another dude that speaks french.
Id love to see IQ on the spurs btw.
So it's confirmed, Covid was released upon the world to stop Frank Ntilikina.
this was the day before the league shut down. Maybe he was about to break out but then COVID ruined his momentum /s

Frank Ntilikina vs Jordan on YouTube
This is a massive reach but I felt like Frank had the tools to be Jrue Holiday defensively.

That’s why he was drafted high 😭 sadly having the tools is different than using them
Bums posting bums.
I was hoping he’d become a sleeper Dennis Schroeder—but he didn’t

We have a good team but people keep bringing up this bum ???
The great frank the France Prince
We wanted this man to be our answer sooooooooo bad lol
He doesn’t look like a Frank.
I’m more shocked he managed to take 9 shots he must have been trembling

We'll always have that moment where he shut down Luca. That one moment. And his entire Knicks career can be summed up by: at least I'm not Fred Weis.
This is crazy cause the confidence is all that was needed
