So when the team drafted the 19-year-old French playmaker Frank Ntilikina with the 8th overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft, some thought that the Knicks finally found their point guard of the future. And it seemed that way during the first few months of the season. Though they did not give him the starting job, New Yorks coaching staff planned to bring the young gunner up to speed by having him back up veterans Ramon Session and Jarrett Jack. As the year progressed and the team continued to lose ground in the playoff race, Ntilikina started to earn more playing time. Image source: clutchpoints.com He was already showing flashes of his playmaking and defensive potential when in a surprise move, New York traded for Emmanuel Mudiay, the 7th overall pick in 2015, who had been a bust, so far. Acquiring prospects would have been a praiseworthy move, but the problems are that Mudiay is in the same position as Ntilikina, and they have similar playing styles. To make things more complicated, another young point guard in the roster, Trey Burke, who was a lottery selection himself in the 2013 Draft, began playing so well that he overtook both Ntilikina and Mudiay in the team depth chart.

They have an entire offseason to decide on whether to let go one or two of them to avoid a logjam in the position or experiment with a three-point-guard lineup.
