I will be adding notes on Ntilikina here: as I said before he reminds me of Exum a lot. What is good about him is his jump shot looks much better than Exum's. He's scoring jumpshots both on set shots and off the dribble. He even had a mid-range pull up.
Frank is killing Italy. Much better game for him than the first one I watched. He's everywhere. He looks like an NBA player. Running the pnr, driving and dishing, driving and kicking, pulling up for 3p off the pnr, spotting up, disturbing Italy's offense on the other end with his height. Wow! He's at 13pts(100% shooting), 6 assists, 2 rbs, 3 steals, 1 block in 16 minutes of play. Haha, Italy started faceguarding him. He just ran the play we were running for Lyles 3 in summer league where he gives the ball to a big on the wing and receives it right back when he reaches shooting range and shoots right away before the defender decides how to react. Drained it. With a heavy hearth I think I'd say Frank might be better than Exum. I didn't see this last game and I underestimated him from that game. He's obviously much better player than I gave him credit last time I watched.
second half: Frank made a stupid foul and spend the rest of the quarter on the bench. This allowed Italy to come back. Stupid coaches! He keeps punishing Italy when they go under - another splashed 3. Followed by nice drive and layup and 1. In this game he's kind of all I wanted Exum to be.
