The Knicks have never drafted a prospect like this and its not surprising fans dont really know what do make of this process. The key word is process. Frank was drafted because of physical tools. What hopefully separates him from guy who were drafted for these reasons in the past is Frank's love for the game and his hard work. But we arent going to know that for awhile. I guess for the guy's declaring what he is or isnt what was your expectation? http://www.nbadraft.net/players/frank-ntilikina Overall: Ntilikina is undoubtedly one of the best International players of his generation. His elite physical tools and feel for the game, combined with his high upside makes him a really intriguing prospect ... He is not NBA ready just yet, but he has all the tools to become a very good player in the future ... I mean if this isnt spot on from nbadraft I dont know what is. We have seen Frank on several times lock down the league's elite guards helping the Knicks to wins. We have seen him make great plays and hit big shots. We have seen him telegraph passes, dribble off his feet and make every possible mistake conceivable. Guys like hofstra see this view point as defending Frank's poor play. This makes no sense. Its like defending my 5 year old's inability to do algebra. These are the growing pains you accept when you draft a project. Frank was drafted for his high ceiling. Not his ability to play PG at an NBA. Thread is a 100% correct. Frank is not an NBA PG. Everyone knows this. The question is can and will he be? "winning is more fun... then fun is fun" -Thibs
