Really? Not sure this is the game you'd want to make that kind of pronounecment. Comparable production:
Ntilikina: 25 minutes off the bench | 7pts (on 8FGA)| 7reb | 5ast | 1stl | 2blk
Smith: 24 minutes as a starter | 11pts (on 14FGA) | 3reb | 5ast | 2 stl
Neither of them on the floor at winning time
Depends on what kind of PG you want and who you're playing him with. They have different games. I would prefer the type of player Ntilikina is, a facilitator PG with size/length and quickness to defend different positions. Pretty confident NYKs are okay with their choice.
Ntilikina reminds me of a very young Dennis Johnson-type player; Smith more of an enhanced Darren Collison (+hops). They should both improve; hope they can both avoid injury.
