Thank you, Frank Ntilikina, for making the HoF for most epic workout videos.

In baseball terms, you'd say he would have been like a 4 or 5 tools prospect that didn't pan out. Ntilikina and KP are almost fully responsible for "training" our UK base here to obsess about wingspan like it's a critical quality in a player. (wingspan is more of a nice to have - many players get it done with lesser tools)

He's also the be the poster child for missed opportunities. It seems like every time he got his number called and was going to get extended PT, a day or two later he'd be hobbled and miss a few weeks. By then someone else emerged and owned the minutes.

At age 23, he's far from done, but now he'll have a bit of the same stigma as most older players/prospects. His tools are better than ever - he has filled out probably better than expected and has further refined his skills, yet somehow his flashes of brilliance on the court seem like they were years ago.

He's seemed like nice enough of a human being and seemed to work harder than anyone (per his workout vids) but maybe he just doesn't have "it".
