Ntilikina signed a two-year contract with Serbian club KK Partizan on June 20.
The No. 8 overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, Ntilikina was a strong perimeter defender upon entering the league, but he struggled to develop much of an offensive game. Across stops with the Knicks, Mavericks and Hornets, Ntilikina averaged just 4.8 points in 17.0 minutes on 36.9 percent shooting from the field and 32 percent shooting from three-point range over 321 career games. After sustaining a non-displaced left tibia fracture in the preseason last October, Ntilikina was limited to just five appearances with Charlotte in 2022-23 before being waived in February. He looks to be back to full health after suiting up for the French national team during the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris.
