Frank has potential because if he can become an average offensive player, he will help the team a lot, regardless of the position he ends up playing. But it's far from a done deal this will happen. |

He's just now starting to shoot more and its not going in. Kid is going to be fine. He's got game. Once puberty sets in and hits the weight room he's a player. Hopefully its only a year or two and not 5 So Burke is better? Is that because of his incremental better shooting percentage. Per 36? Ok. So Smith Jr. averages more in Pts, Asst's, rebounds, steals, blocks etc. But that doesn't matter. As mentioned, based on 33 games (Burke) vs 68 (Smith). And nice to include the fact he was one of best players in the GLeague?? Lmao. Is Carlisle tired of him? Please post the article. a vet coach tired of his first year PG ( Hardest position for first year guy. Just ask Franky) for averaging 15/5. OK and lets also leave out that Burke is doing so on a team with no other PG worth a damn and a team whos main scorer is Timmy Chuck. Fair enough, lets add this to my Fish list of contention. Your due buddy. In terms of what Burke turned out to be at 9, of course he did not live up to a 9th pick. But are you are predicting Smith Jr. to have the same type of lack of improvement? Byw, better check that basketball scale when talking about what holds more weight. A guy that has 3 years of mediocre play, went to the /g Leahue and has an okay go with a really bad Knick squad VS a kid that has been the top of every level he has been in and now had a very good first year at the PG position. Yeah, check that scale. As for Frank at SG, doesn't a shooting guard usually the best shooter? Hey, maybe he will be the next Andre Roberson..... in five years.

https://dailyknicks.com/2018/04/05/new-york-knicks-jeff-hornacek-frank-ntilikina-work-ethic/ I was impressed to learn Frank added 8lbs over the season with all the strength training and his coaches have said its helping. Everyone wants the best talent with the highest ceiling but the same guys lack the patience to let it develop. You can look back at a lot of great players who had to take their lumps in the first couple of years. The talent and ceiling remain high here. "winning is more fun... then fun is fun" -Thibs

His defense is top notch and only going to get better, he has great court vision again only going to get better. His offense is coming along nicely, I expect big things from frank in year two. This kid is the guard version of k Leonard, he’s going to be a stud. It’s exciting |
