8. New York Knicks – Frank Ntilikina, PG, France
The New York Knicks needed a point guard. They got one, hopefully it’s the right one. It’s going to be remembered for many years that the Knicks passed on Dennis Smith Jr. And he might forever be tied at the hip to Ntilikina.
If both become good players, this won’t matter much. BUT, if the Knicks made the wrong selection again, it will be remembered.
Hopefully, Phil holds on to Kristaps Porzingis. If he does, the Knicks would have a nice little core starting with Ntilkina and Porzingis. But, as we’ve learned in the last year, you can never trust Phil.
