No. 8 New York Knicks- Frank Ntilikina (France, 1998, Point Guard)

The Knicks are a mess and will continue to be a mess. Their focus should be Kristaps Porzingis and building around him. Derrick Rose will not be back in New York and the need to address the point guard position is dire.

Frank Ntilikina’s range is solid, shooting nearly 40 percent from three, and has versatility to guard multiple positions, which will prove invaluable at the next level. Standing at 6-foot-5 and a carrying a 7-foot wingspan is impressive for a point guard.

New York fans are sure to be more open to the idea of international player again and frankly, they don’t have a choice but to support any incoming help.
