Yeah, but turns out Deuce is better. Where are the McBride cult members?
They are similar as far as their skillset. But I dont believe Deuce believed his own hype like Frank did. Deuce is going to push himself.
Trey Burke's first game as a Knick (after volunteering for G-league). Trey had one of the best starts Ive ever seen for the Knicks. Everybody on the bench was jumping up and down, smiling, screaming, as he got subbed out. Everyone except Frank who had a scowl on his face. All I needed to know about Frank as a player.
What I remember about Frank was he would have a great game and then play underwhelming the next few games then get injured
Pulled groin shaming?
Pulled groin shaming has an ugly history in this country. Glad someone spoke out! 
Frank did get hurt a lot. He was never known as a player who made quick cuts, broke ankles. Frank would have a game or two where he was more aggressive, but his body didnt seem to be able to handle more than that.
Spent a lot of time training offseason with the same crew in France, who didnt do anything for Frank's game or conditioning. Didnt come off as a player interested in pushing the envelope. Liked playing it safe.
Impressive how much you know about frank, whats in his head, and his offseason activities and drew conclusions.
In 4 years, age 18-22 he never changed. All you need to know about a person in one 4 year span.
My take? He never fulfilled his promise as a knick. Not as a lazy frenchman, but his offensive game never developed. He had 4 coaches? He was here in a time of turmoil.
Often we paint a player with names and as a villain so its easier.
Deuce love is we root for a 2nd round player than the 8th seed. We could have had Donovan Mitchel after Frank, Dennis, and Monk!
Frank believed his own hype? Kid did a lot in france as a 17 year old and from humble background has made 22million dollars thus far.
I hope he succeeds and carves out a nice career here or abroad.
