It’s Year 2 for the eighth overall pick and he remains a spectator on offense. Put it like this: the Knicks have a lot invested in Ntilikina and he’s one of their best perimeter defenders, but Fizdale still yanked the Frenchman from the lineup because he’s a liability on offense. In other words, it’s difficult to keep a player on the floor who shoots 35 percent and struggles to get by his defender off the dribble. With that being said, other teams remain interested in acquiring Ntilikina, according to sources, and I see him as a potential trade chip at the deadline or draft. His value will be diminished if he can’t play point guard. Grade: C-
