B/R: Brooklyn Nets’ top free-agent target is Frank Ntilikina
The Brooklyn Nets have made some solid moves in this offseason as they try to make the team as good as possible for the foreseeable future. However, it seems that there are others in the NBA space that believe that the Nets have other moves to make with the offseason still so young.
According to Zach Buckley of Bleacher Report, the Nets’ top free-agent target should be Frank Ntilikina. Ntilikina, 24, most recently played for the Dallas Mavericks as a guard coming off the bench. After coming into the league as the 8th overall pick by the New York Knicks in the 2017 NBA Draft, Ntilikina’s career has not followed accordingly to his draft status.
While Brooklyn has signed guards in Dennis Smith Jr. and Lonnie Walker IV, it’s possible that the Nets could use more guards. It would be interesting to ponder, but it’s possible that since Ntilikina is essentially playing for the minimum these days, Brooklyn could give him a look to be a third guard off the bench for defensive purposes.
