Hopefully, Quickley is the starter next year and Frank could have been a backup at the 1, 2, or 3 spots. Cheap for a quality 3 and D guy. Since it looks like DSJr and Quickley are going to take a lot of Frank’s minutes, he might not have a great year but still I would have given him a extension.
Where do you get the "quality 3" part from, exactly? 4 years in the league and he's doesn't even qualify to be in the top 150. He just doesn't shoot it enough. I love the D, and agree they should have extended him on the cheap, but let's not go crazy here on 4 preseason games. And wasn't he just injured again?
He’s going into his 4th season he hasn’t played 4 seasons yet. Has only played 2 preseason games. Thibs and the coaching staff should know through practice when evaluating him. He hasn’t played enough so far this season for us fans to come to any conclusions though. Also Quickley if he is able to maintain what he has done. Opens up things for a lot of players. Frank just like most of the roster has needed a guard like him to play off of.
It's a reason rookies get their extensions after 3 season, it's because at that point you know what you have in that player, and that players role has been established for the most part.
Some of you think I hate this kid, but i'm very disappointed in frank. I look at Faulk and how he came in the league a complete mess headed for complete draft bust status, and look at him now (72 mill extension)..Frank should be our starting PG considering how high we drafted him, but i think he's headed back over seas next season
I don’t have a problem with them not extending him. Because again no conclusions can really be made at this point. Didn’t have a real training camp. Only has 4 preseason games where he played 2. So when talking about committing money and years. It’s pretty logical right now to play it out.
But if he does end up leaving for nothing then that will also be a misstep from management. Because if they brought in these other players because they didn’t believe in him. And he gets buried or inconsistent mins off the bench. If that is the plan then they should have traded him for some type of asset. Because he wouldn’t have a real role here and they wouldn’t be increasing his value. They pretty much would just be sitting on him and letting him go which makes no sense.
I think that's the disappointing part because they didn't trade him and giving him the opportunity to come to camp and earned that spot, and once again he has an injury .
It's more than likely hard for an organization to trade an #8th pick (under his rookie contract) for a mid to late 2nd round pick.
This can be also be a good thing because there are others like Ball and Makenanan that did not receive extensions that will be in play (RFA) this off season, which the knicks will have enough to out bid anyone
