The New York Knicks will reportedly explore their options on draft night with point guard Frank Ntilikina, according to Marc Berman of the New York Post.
With Dennis Smith Jr. on the roster, Ntilikina has become expendable. The eighth overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft has been a bust so far in the league.
According to a source, Knicks brass will explore their options on draft night with Ntilikina. Obviously, Ntilikina is available in any Anthony Davis package, but if the Knicks can acquire an extra first-round pick for him, they would consider it.
“The Knicks will be active on draft night,” one NBA source told The Post.
Frank Ntilikina has career averages of 5.9 points, 2.2 rebounds and 3.1 assists in 119 games with the Knicks. He's currently sidelined with a groin injury and hasn't played since Jan. 27.
Ntilikina is a good defender, but he's very limited in what he can do on the offensive end. The 20-year-old shoots 35.6 percent from the field and 30.7 percent from beyond the arc in his NBA career.
The Knicks are expected to try and trade for New Orleans Pelicans superstar big man Anthony Davis this summer. New York is going to finish with one of the worst records in the league this season and could wind up with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2019 NBA Draft.
