French guard Frank Ntilikina has officially declared for the 2017 NBA Draft as his agent announced on Twitter.
Ntilikina, 18, is currently playing with Strasbourg in France. He has averaged 7.2 points, 2.1 assists and 1.9 rebounds per game in the FIBA Champions League and 5.2 points along with 1.2 rebounds in the French League.
Currently projected as 11th pick by specialized website DraftExpress, the French player is considered a top prospect who can develop into an excellent “3-and-D” baller, equally capable of spacing the floor and locking down opponents thanks to his affinity for defense and large wingspan.
The most prime example of the quality and potential Ntilikina has showed in this season so far, took place in a FIBA Champions League game of Strasbourg vs Aris, where he notched a new career-high as a pro.
