Franck impacted winning with his defense and the little things. Franck's physical attributes are even more enticing than Mc Bride. However like Franck, Deuce is not a playmaker or shotmaker. They are useful players but the lack of offense will hurt the team. Not as much as a lack of defense in my opinion but still.

not at all... Frank had a handful of good stretches where he really helped the team win, he hit shots, and he immediately followed those stretches by missing a month or so with a groin or some other injury, come back and play like **** or get replaced in the rotation.

All we have seen from McBride are monster Gleague games and missing every shot he takes coming up here. He's had some nice energy and defense but that's not enough. He's gonna get a few games there. That's generally what Thibs does... give a player a stretch of games. Hopefully McBride breaks out, hits some shots and starts feeling it

That's his pattern. 10-15 game looks.
