He's got athletic ability, work ethic and natural talent on the defensive end, but if he has the extended yips shooting, I don't know how he can play a role. He came back with confidence and then it faded again. Its a shame because you see the flashes that he might have a nice looking jumpshot, and then he starts with the airballs as if he never shot a basketball. I think its fair to say its not gonna happen here for him.
hey dude! hoping all is well 
This is an amazing and perfect comparison. Rose will come back and Frank will go back to the bench. He's gonna get a late game defensive sub call because Burks fouled out some random night and Reggie is out for health protocols. In comes Frank, ready to impact the game. He gets the steal! Pushes the ball and fires a perfect bullet pass right to the face of the chick in Dolan's band who sitting next to him (didnt Knobauch hit Keith Oberman's mom or something?)
Sucks seeing Frank fail. There always seems to be promising stretches followed by an injury. Last two games have been not only bad but costly. With so many guys out were are desperate for buckets and this was just bad for Frank.
What's up Fishmike! All good - finally left the Brits after 14 years for greener pastures, but found that moving jobs during COVID aint easy! At least the Knicks got competitive now that there is no where to go and nothing to do at night. Hope all is well with you.
My expectations are zero for him- Id just like to see Frank play a role. The defense is there where he can guard 3 positions and he can certainly make an impact on a game. He won't be a PG, but there's an obvious role for him if he can provide some sort of value on offense and not be a hot potato. How does a guy come in sticking 3's and then basically just start spraying airballs. Its psychological. Maybe he gets over it at some point in his career, but guys that have had this - they generally don't. Rick Ankiel had to stop pitching and become an outfielder. Knobby had to move to leftfield, but never was quite the same. Not sure if he can be fixed, and if he can, it won't happen while he's here b/c the contract will run out.
