There's not a lot I say about LB that isn't a cynical or sarcastic barb toward Isiah, or the roster, but I say this in all sincerity. Frye would be much better under Brown. He WAS much better under Brown. He was simply utilized better under LB. Larry had him moving toward the basket while Isiah has him float.
It's almost as if both Isiah and Larry decided they needed to feature only one of Curry or Frye, at the expense of the other, but they each chose the other guy. Larry may have been wrong to chose Frye over Curry - or it might simply have been because last year Curry was in too terrible condition to be "the one."
OTOH, maybe Frye IS the better choice. I really can't say right now.
The point is, I wouldn't judge Frye off this year. This represents the worst we've seen of him. It might be that under Isiah, and next to Eddy, he'll never become what we want him to be. however, that's not to say that what we're seeing is all he's got.
Unfortunately, I think this is becoming a wasted year in his development. If Isiah can't do more with him he should move him out of compassion, if nothing else.
what i've said and what many others have said is that frye AND curry in the starting lineup just doesn't work. we need to pick one and trade the other b/c moving one to the bench would be a waste.
i think frye defensively AT CENTER, is better than eddy.
i think frye is more versatile offensively than eddy.
but eddy is more dominant 5 feet and in from the basket.
so who do you pick? i would pick frye to stay and move him to center.
but i also didn't give frye $60 mil while giving up 2 #1's and 2 #2's.
