He has a new agent and perhaps he is in Frisco on the advice of the team to work with this one dude who they like. Im just guessing.

No one is hating on the staff. They just aren’t any good at developing and training.

The gray tee shirt is also not form fitting. Would show if he has worked on weights.
Really, why did they post these videos and what can we get out fo them?

The video wasn't that impressive since he wasn't doing any real advanced work. But it seems his trainer *for this video* is working on muscle memory for the adjustments to his shot. As Nard pointed out seems a little bit more fluid. He will then look to build on that.

His moves while slow(I know you were being sarcastic) seem to be about how to set up his shot within that fluidity and create muscle memory for it. Pace and difficulty will then start to pick up.

Exactly the season starts in October and we’re in June. Frank needs a reliable 3 pt shot if he’s gonna have value. Wes Matthews and Courtney Lee has whole careers based on that 3 pt shot. They need to start there and go forward.

In my opinion last season was about players getting the green light and “feeling it” at this level. Then dial it back with precision down the road. Frank, again in my opinion (I’m not speaking like I really have knowledge or in his head) frustrated coaches who wanted him to create more. He is all too willing to start the offense. Thing is we had no system to really start!!!! We know he is unselfish. We wanted him to “Feel the creations”. By the time he was starting to do so he had shoulder and groin issues. At 5mm per his cap space became valueable and he is unproven still.

Reality is he is still here because of his contract and he might get another chance. For those in the second round or undrafted one can see how tenuous it is. Some players must get pissed they have more ready ability and yet this kid has the contract!!! It’s not always fair!!

The video as said demonstrates working on memory and the instinct that if space is created take the shot. He is overthinking it. Trier will need to go the other way funny enough. Frank over passes. Call it timid or unselfish? He is to nice? Too French? Needs more “Street”? “Needed more Gleague”?

I won’t pretend to know the answers. Berman had him gone draft night. While he won’t play summer league he will practice with his team or if traded they will want him to be there too. For now, he is a knicks. He is in the states working under contract. He has had a full year with his coach and the coach that will be here next year. He has likely been told what he needs to do to play. He might have been told attempts would be to trade him. We don’t know if nobody is interested, the price was not enough, or knicks have interest in still keeping him.
We can make shyt up and pretend we do.
Me, I hope he sticks, and hope he succeeds!!!! Simple really.

The Knicks coaching-staff and head-coach Fizdale's substitution started the 2018-19 season off TANKING!
When we seen the Knicks first starter lineup in the first Knicks game of the season vs Hawks .. That same starter lineup were never put on the court throughout any of the pre-season games. Coach Fizdale change of lineup and change of player rotation kept all the Knick players confuse from day one of the start of the season.

Fizdale change the rotation of players after the second game of the season, then Fizdale change the Knicks starter lineup after the 4th game into the season (That's TANKING!). Plus Fizdale had no type of ball movement in the Knicks offense, and no type of defensive position in the system to stop opponents transition performance nor their half-court performance the first 41 games of the season.

Plus Fizdale's use of a 2nd season Frank at the start of the season having Frank in all 4 quarters of the game in a different lineup each quarter, plus Frank only receiving 20 minute of playing-time per game. Com'on! A pass-first guard Frank playing in a Isolation-offense system, the Knicks offense were one or two passes then shoot having 3 to 4 shoot-first teammates in the lineup that don't play any defense Timmy, Knox, Trier, Mario, or Kanter. The Knicks looked and played much better on the court when coach Hornacek had Frank & Baker in the backcourt, or Frank & Burke in the backcourt. Fizdale's coaching last season were a complete JOKE = 17 win season !!!

why? Based on Berman's reports? There is no reason to trade this kid. Makes no sense. You work another year with him and keep him healthy. He's going to be 21. I mean why give up on a kid with his skills, size and no attitude problems? You keep him in the mix. Defensive stoppers with PG skills are worth developing.

I agree with this no need to move Frank. He does everything right just needs confidence and aggressiveness. It’s just a matter of when he maybe the best player in the team.
