The Knicks have taken French point guard Frank Ntilikina with the eighth overall pick in the 2017 NBA draft.
Ntilikina, 18, said he's done his homework on the Knicks and the triangle offense, and believes he would do well with them.
"The system there is a good system for me," Ntilikina said during Wednesday's availability with draft prospects. "I think I could play in it. The organization is very good. It would be great."
Ntilikina is only 18 years old, but his frame and skills may fit the triangle better than any of the guards who could be available in the Knicks' range.
Ntilikina is 6-5 and can play both backcourt positions. Multiple scouts have said Ntilikina meets Jackson requirements for the triangle in that he's a big, versatile guard.
"It's a good system with a lot of rules and placement," Ntilikina said. "But the game I play with my team back in France is very similar to this game. I think it would be great for me to end up here."
