2 years agoDallas Mavericks point guard Frank Ntilikina is expected to remain with the team for the upcoming season, with his contract set to become guaranteed Monday. Ntilikina appeared in 58 games (five starts) last year for Dallas, but played just 11.8 minutes per night while averaging 4.1 PPG. While he shot a career-high 39.9 percent from the floor, the 23-year-old continues to struggle offensively; his usage will be further complicated by the addition to the backcourt of Jaden Hardy, a former McDonald's All-American whom the team acquired on NBA Draft night. With Luka Doncic and Spencer Dinwiddie holding down point guard duties, Ntilikina's path to fantasy relevance remains steep.--Jesse Borek
