LAS VEGAS — Frank Ntilikina, the Knicks’ 2017 lottery pick, welcomes the competition after the team signed yet another point guard and claims he still wants to be with the team that drafted him.

The Knicks’ point-guard situation got a lot messier with the imminent signing of Elfrid Payton. Training camp stands to be a battle royal for point-guard minutes among Ntilikina, Dennis Smith Jr. and Payton, the former Pelicans guard drafted by Knicks GM Scott Perry when he was still in Orlando.

“I’m happy to be a Knick,’’ Ntilikina said Sunday in his first comments since April while dropping by the Knicks’ 105-100 overtime summer league loss to the Suns. “I still take as much as I can get from every situation. I’m still in a Knick jersey. I’m happy to be here. I work very hard to make this situation successful.’’

Ntilikina, who turns 21 on July 28, said his groin strain is completely healed but his future seems unsettled as the Knicks have a fourth-year rookie option on his contract to decide upon in late October.

The Knicks listened to offers on draft night for Ntilikina, who was limited to 43 games last season because of injuries. But they are now hoping to see a vast improvement in his shooting and penetrating ability in 2019-20. He also has to stay healthy.

The 6-foot-6 Ntilikina is viewed by coach David Fizdale more as an off-guard, but the Knicks added Reggie Bullock, Wayne Ellington and drafted RJ Barrett — all off-guards.

“We signed a lot of experienced players,’’ Ntilikina said. “It will be good for us and things will be more competitive. We want to learn from each other and compete with each other.’’

After the season, Ntilikina fired Creative Artists Agency and hired French agent Bouna Ndiaye.

“I’m just feeling I need something else,’’ Ntilikina said.

Ndiaye encouraged Ntilikina to join Team France’s training camp later this month and play in the World Cup. Ntilikina didn’t sound like he was a lock, though, to play beyond the exhibition season.

“I’m looking forward to it,’’ he said. “It’s [down to] the last 17 [players]. If coach wants me, I’m definitely excited about that. I’m going in there to prove I belong on the team.’’

After the regular season ended April 11, Ntilikina spent nearly two months in France before coming back to the U.S. in mid-June and has been practicing in Dallas, according to a source.

Assistant coaches have visited him there.

“It’s been going great,’’ Ntilikina said. “I’m happy about it. I’m trying to get rhythm. I’m working a lot and happy where I am right now. [I’m working on] everything — my body, how I handle the ball and being where I’m comfortable moving around with the ball and without. I’ll do everything to try to be successful.”

Ntilikina was set to meet Barrett after Sunday’s game.

“I’m excited about meeting him,’’ Ntilikina said. “He’s very talented. Has a lot of potential. Otherwise he wouldn’t be here. The sky’s the limit for him.”
