But to think about this guy, he couldnt beat out Eisley or Ward.

wow, i can't believe you guys. first you say that you love frank frank for the way he plays and the way he runs the team from the pg position. now you say that he might not be that good because the lack of playing time that chaney gave him and lenny is giving him. ah come on. have you even watched him play the whole year? this guy was great. examples, remember the boston game at msg when in the fourth every body was tired, it was frank and guys like othela, doleac, shandon that cut into to that 8 point lead in the fourth, the minnasota game, i hope you remember what he did in that one, the laker game was his coming out party, you should remember the grizzies game, the heat game, the magic game for those three pointers and that sweat dist to ward on the break, there were many more where he contributed significantly.
then he got hurt and the knicks misfortunes began and chaney's demise was inevitable.
did you ever actually really see this guy play in the game consistently for atleast 10-15 games at the starting point position. he was three and 0 in those games and he was the main guy in the grizz game. every time this guy has seen significant minutes,(20-35) he has impressed us as fans and people like marv albert and clyde. they were even starting to compare him to clyde.
did you already forget that nice dazzling passing, (just recently that behind the back pass to penny in the bucks game)
this guy gets hurt and you guys start thinking that he might not be all we make him out to be. you guys doubt your own judgment like little kids do on tests.
have some faith in your gut feeling. this guy sees the floor really well when he's in the game. he picks his spots to shot and always looks for the open man and virtually 100% of the time finds and open guy. remember that cross court pass in the heat game to van horn for a three. he plays great defense and is a gem on offense. his pass might not lead to an assist but it sure would lead to another pass and a basket. he brings consistency on offense that we hadn't seen with ward, eisly, mark, childs. a penetrater who can finish and find the open man.
btw, moochie isn't even close to being a frank williams. he doesn't see the floor well, remember in a possession in the bulls game where he penetrated and had no where to go, he just chucked in to doleac who wasn't expecting the pass. we hardly see that kind of a bad play from frank. atleast when he charged into somebody, he had in mind what he wanted to do, and just couldn't do it on the particular possession. all moochie did yesterday was pass it to van horn when he came out to the three point line and i give him props for that nice jump shot too. even van horn like williams' precense in the the game. he was raving about him in those 4 games. williams just makes everybody better.
stay off his back. when he becomes a starter for some other team and rips our heart out, then you could say that we didn't know he could do it. i want to see him be traded and become the starter and play 25-35 minutes and prove all of the doubters wrong.

i agree with you there man. some people became doubters about frank, all of the sudden

The only reason I can think of Frank sitting is the fact that he still might be hurt. No, he will never start with Stephon on the team, but I think he has the ability to become a great player. He was nasty at Illinois and is a really smart player who can get to the hoop almost any time he wants. I was hoping he would turn out to be the player he's becoming when he had no PG. If we didn't have Stephon, I'd have full confidence in him starting at PG.

Frank Williams IS GETTING THE SHAFT. He showed NYC what he can do with starters minutes. You can continue to show how good you are by not being allowed to play in games. What happen was Zeke had to get booties in the seats , what other NY name would do that and at the same time upgrade the pg position. We are easily fooled in NY by being star struck, if that move was about winning something this yr it would have been for a "FRONTLINE PLAYER" because we already had Frank. If he wasn't any good Thomas would have shipped him out and might still be trying to do that...IMHO there isn't any out there.
