Franck will be a very good player for us in the near future. Moreover, he'll be a player that we'll have seen growing, which is, a great feeling.

With more playing time and a less tumultous season (death of his mother, coaching change...), Im sure he'll make huge strides next yr.

At least, IT may not trade him (if not for an offer that he couldn't refuse), and we'll do what is needed to have him on the court.

At end, our ballhandling and passing is so much better with him paired with marbury that I still don't undertand why shandon plays so much.

I think if we had another 20 games Frank would be starting. Remember he got hurt when Lenny was first here, then his mother died.. so he was slow coming back. He's also turn over prone for a PG which is probably why Lenny got shy with him.

He and MArbury are nice together because they can both handle, penetrate and defend bigger players

With Frank, I think the traditional "he needs to earn a spot" needed to be thrown out the window. All this guy needs is a legitimate opportunity for a protracted period of time. Lenny should have just let him play, and learn from his mistakes, instead of taking him out after every mistake and punishing him by having to watch Moochie.

I'm glad for Frank and I'm glad that he's starting to get fan recognition. If there are any college hoops fans in here - then they will know, when FW was at Illinois - he was All-World his sophomore and Junior years. The only reason the knicks were able to take him at 25th was because of his dismal senior year. I remember being quite ecstatic that he slipped that far, just because of his potential to return to form. His lethargic play carried over to his rookie season, and I remember scratching my head time and time again, saying "What the Hell happened to this guy?!" He actually looked depressed or like his head was completely somewhere else other than the game.
Then I read in the offseason that he worked really hard and recommitted himself to his game. And the results have been splendid for the knicks and the fans. Let's not forget - he DID win the starting position right before IT got here. I remember actually feeling bad for him when they traded for Steph. The guy worked real hard to regain his form and then in a flash his burn was ripped from him. I don't remember seeing FW for weeks after that trade.
Needless to say - I am very pleased with his play of late.

Let the Frankie chats come back all over again! gotta love it! You guys sell and but so quickly that you make the stock market look like a joke. If you were real Basketball and knicks fans, you would not even discuss this Frank crap all over again, it hurts the feelings of fans that always kept it in their minds. Steph is our point guard. Being a big Frankie fan, I want to see him get traded to a team that wants a real points gaurd, not a famous basketball player.
I am a big knicks fan so, once he is gone, i have Houston, TT, and Nazr to chear for. Hopefully the Knicks will comeback to have a great season next year.
