Frank Ntilikina

PG, New York Knicks

According to Ian Begley of SNY.tv, the Knicks are no longer interested in trading Frank Ntilikina after the improvement that he showed in 2019-20.

Frankie Smokes has disappointed since the Knicks spent a top-10 pick on him back in 2017 and the team was looking to trade him until his improved play this season. Although he still has a ways to go to become a reliable shooter in the league (.393 FG shooting in 2019-20), Ntilikina notched career highs in all of his percentages. His most notable jump came at the free throw line as he increased his career numbers by nearly six percentage points while seeing a slight uptick in volume.
