NBA Mock Draft 2017: Updated Order & 1st-Round Predictions as NCAA Tournament Starts

7. New York Knicks Select Frank Ntilikina, PG, France


Year: Born July 28, 1998


With Derrick Rose set to hit the open market, the Knicks will be in need of a point guard. This pick obviously depends greatly on what the plan is for free agency, but for now, we'll slot in Ntilikina. The rising international star, who earned MVP at the FIBA Under-18 European Championships in December, lacks the athleticism of some other point guards in this class, but he's a smart, heady leader who plays under control and is a really strong defender.
