Frank Ntilikina

Frank Ntilikina has lived an interesting basketball life. Born in Ixelles, Belgium, raised in Strasbourg, he became enough of a French standout to be named a Knight of the National Order of Merit in 2021, which is no small civic honor for an athlete. At 6 foot 4, he's a point guard who built his reputation on defense and length rather than flash, and I always rate players whose value isn't obvious in the box score. His move to Olympiacos in the EuroLeague feels like a sensible reinvention. To me Ntilikina is a reminder that European basketball offers real, respected second acts.
