OKLAHOMA CITY — The Knicks point-guard dilemma looked as bad as advertised in the season opener, a 105-84 loss to the Thunder and Carmelo Anthony.

Neither Ramon Sessions, Ron Baker nor French rookie Frank Ntilikina could do a thing.

In Ntilikina’s case, it was understandable. After missing summer league, Ntilikina missed the final four preseason games with a knee bruise and was making his NBA debut in the league’s loudest arena.

Knicks coach Jeff Hornacek attempted to protect the 19-year-old with Russell Westbrook on the loose.

The way Sessions and Baker fared, Hornacek cannot be protecting him for long. The Knicks mustered 25 turnovers after posting 20-plus turnovers in four of the five preseason games. They desperately need an organizer for the offense — and Ntilikina is probably the best of the bunch right now. Plus, he’s a defender.

It’s evident Tim Hardaway Jr. and Doug McDermott, who combined for 12 points, desperately need a playmaker to get them the ball for their deep looks.

Sessions played 20:38, scored 3 points, managed just a single assist and was a team-worst minus-23. The 32-year-old has got a small build and defensively may not be sturdy enough. There’s a reason he’s mostly been a backup in his career.

While Baker is better on defense, his playmaking and ballhandling leave a lot to be desired. He struggled against ball pressure with 4 turnovers in 23 minutes. It’s been well-established that he’s a Hornacek personal favorite, but his future in the league should really be shooting guard.

Ironically, Jarrett Jack has been the best mentor for Ntilikina, according to sources. He came early for voluntary workouts in September while Sessions didn’t arrive until days before camp. Problem is, Jack looked slow in preseason — obviously not 100 percent recovered from his knee surgeries. In fact, when Joakim Noah is back from suspension, Jack is expected to be released.

In the preseason opener, after Ntilikina’s very first stint on the NBA court, he came to the bench. Instead of a Knicks coach coming over to talk to him about his first action, Jack moved a teammate out of the seat next to the Frenchman, sat down and delivered his feedback.

Ntilkina had a rough night, tossing up two airballs and throwing away a pass, still looking for his first point after 7:32 of action. Expect a much longer look in the home opener vs. Detroit on Saturday.

“They should throw him to the wolves, why not?,’’ one NBA scout said.

In essence, anyone not named Kristaps Porzingis had a poor season debut. But the glut at center is a real problem. Hornacek is torn on how to divvy up minutes and he doesn’t even have Noah yet to deal with.

Building block Willy Hernangomez got the short straw, falling out of the rotation, playing the final 3:46 of garbage time. Enes Kanter, after his thunderous standing ovation, got bullied a bit by his former teammate, Steve Adams, and finished with a quiet 10 points (No other Knick hit double figures outside Porzingis.) They are close and spent 25 minutes yapping outside the Knicks locker room after the game.

Using Kyle O’Quinn for a 21:46 run has to be with a purpose beyond his outplaying Hernangomez in training camp. O’Quinn grabbed 10 boards but is not nearly the offensive threat that Hernangomez is. The sense is O’Quinn is being showcased for a trade as the Knicks need to eliminate bodies at center. O’Quinn was shopped at the last two trading deadlines.

The two-way signing of UNC 6-10 big man rookie Isaiah Hicks on Thursday purely is for his participation on the G League Westchester Knicks. Hicks was cut by Charlotte. Their other two-way guy is center Luke Kornet. Two-way players can spend a certain amount of days on the main roster without affecting numbers. That means technically six centers can be on the roster. At least one has to go.

What a tough break for Michael Beasley, who gets in for 36 seconds, makes his first shot as a Knick in the first quarter, lands on Westbrook’s foot and is gone for the game and out for the home opener. He left in a walking boot. Beasley is hoping he’s not going to miss more than a week. The Knicks can use his offense. Their defense actually held the Thunder to 43.3 percent shooting. They ran out of gas late in the first half after putting so much energy into it. The Thunder ran off on an 11-0 sprint and the Knicks, who led by 3 midway through the second period, never recovered.
