Brother of Mavericks Veteran Signs With Knicks

Another Ntilikina joins NBA ranks

Franck Ntilikina's brother joins New York Knicks

The New York Knicks have signed French guard Olivier Ntilikina, the younger brother of former Knicks guard Frank Ntilikina. Olivier Ntilikina, 20, played for SIG Strasbourg in the French league last season, averaging 5.8 points, 2.0 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game.

He was not drafted by an NBA team in 2022, but he impressed the Knicks during a workout last week. Olivier Ntilikina is a 6-foot-4 point guard who is known for his defense and passing ability.

He is expected to compete for a spot in the Knicks' rotation this season. Frank Ntilikina, 24, played for the Knicks from 2017 to 2021. He was traded to the Dallas Mavericks in 2021.

The Knicks have been looking for a backup point guard to Derrick Rose. Olivier Ntilikina could fill that role this season.

He is a good defender and passer, and he can also score the ball. He is not a great outside shooter, but he is a good cutter and finisher at the rim.

Olivier Ntilikina is a young player with a lot of potential. He could be a valuable addition to the Knicks this season.

The Knicks are hoping that Olivier Ntilikina can follow in the footsteps of his brother and become a successful NBA player.
