1. Build Chemistry With Franchise Cornerstones

The New York Knicks roster features some interesting young talent who will grow with Frank Ntilikina. Kristaps Porzingis is one of the best young talents in the entire NBA, and Willy Hernangomez and Tim Hardaway Jr. are promising players who should stick with the team for a while.

To be a successful team, the core tends to have a special bond and chemistry with each other that benefits the production on the court.

For Ntilikina, building a chemistry with the two big men is critical. At the end of the day, Porzingis and Hernangomez will need to get the ball from the point guard, and if those three can form a bond with each other, it’ll make playing with each other more effective.

Ntilikina will also share a backcourt with Tim Hardaway Jr., so knowing each other’s preferences and tendencies on the basketball court will make their dynamic far more efficient in the future.
