He got 2 quick fouls in the 1st then got taken out . I went to the store got back and checked the stats. Frank played 5 min. Must have done something Thibs didn't like. These are good teaching moments. Do what I want or you sit. Frank was very tentative in the opening minutes. Always deferring to whoever is the alpha.

He hasnt played since the 1st qtr

Still seems odd when you're out of PGs. Frank didn't look good early, but you'd think he'd be back, even on a short leash.

Frank was too tentative that first qtr. Thibs should play him and Obi now final 3 mins of garbage time

I really think Thibs is telling frank that he needs to do what he tells him or he is sitting. He still defers too damn much. When he is aggressive he looks good.

So, the team is up by 20 with 3:05 left in the game. Substitutions, maybe

Cool moment Julius pushing for RJ to get 30! Didn't see it live, but going to have to rewind.

He's just not an NBA player, after 4 season in the league, and a grand opportunity to get major minutes and show what you got, he gets benched..only player with a minus

So it seems Thibs might have finally figured to put an actual shooter in the starting lineup. I understand him liking Quick as instant offense off the bench but what good is he in that role when we always start out down 10+ pts almost every game.

Frank will be a late bloomer. He's making progress, but at this pace it will not click until after he leaves or into his late 🤔 20? Once he figures out how to transition from attack to defer, regardless of his team mates. The way he plays, when he defers, is how he learned the game. It takes a while to change that, without looking like you are forcing it. And for the level of defense he plays, which is very high. If his offense was just as high, he would be an all star lol. So in reality....Frank is basically a tall / long defensive 3 and D guard. Forget where he was drafted. The question is,, Whats the best way to utilize his 2 way skill set.. its definitely not as a lead guard,, unless hes 3rd string...like he is now.. That's his space career wise. So my expectations never exceeds his capabilities.

Born in Brooklyn, Raised in Queens, Lives in Maryland. The future is bright, I'm a Knicks fan for life!
