I saw a pretty impressive rookie crossing players up and playing lock down defense... where's the footage of Isaiah Washington out playing him... I didn't see it, sounds fishy |

Defenders will have to play him tighter because of the J the J which will allow him to get into the paint. Kidd wasn't able to break guys down during his last year with us, but he was still our best playmaker. He was able to leverage an improved j to make up for his loss in athleticism. Always... always remember: Less is less. More is more. More is better and twice as much is good too. Not enough is bad, and too much is never enough except when it's just about right.

Jason Kidd was far from the drive and dish PG that he was in his prime when he played for the Knicks. He was 3 & D with high IQ intangible plays of knowing when to .ake the extra pass or dagger 3. With key high IQ defensive plays here and their throughout a game. To go with great rebounding from the guard spot. Kidd at that age was at a higher level in terms of intangibles. But Franks shooting off the dribble has more potential than Kidd. If we can have a version of Kidd intangibles to go mixed in with that ability to shoot off the dribble efficiently. Then the Knicks will have themselves a stud. https://vote.nba.com/en Vote for your Knicks.

The videos aren't very long but I've been watching them on an Instagram page under the name cbrickley603. And Frankie's stroke is a thing of beauty. Love his form/confidence. So smooth...

Folks should remember that until a few years ago, I think his shooting was not considered a strong point.
He is 19, now, right? Seems to have the stroke of a shooting guard. Think about it. EnySpree: Can we agree to agree not to mention Phil Jackson and triangle for the rest of our lives?

They are three integral pieces of a future championship team. Even though Frank is only 19 and would be a college freshman, I believe that his superb defense and offensive acumen will make him a force from day one. He should be our starter! |

In the midrange at his size/length that is impossible to guard. It looked like Washington was breaking off quite a number of dudes, including D. Mitchell. Minnesota is got themselves a top of the line PG. The even crazier thing is that he's the same age as Frank. Always... always remember: Less is less. More is more. More is better and twice as much is good too. Not enough is bad, and too much is never enough except when it's just about right.

In the midrange at his size/length that is impossible to guard. You're right, thats also why Frank often employs a stutter step to try and lose his defender, instead of an explosive first step. I do believe that is something a player can improve on. I know from personal experience. I would practice it sort of like the way a runner practices getting off the blocks. It works.

Im not saying Frank cant become a top flight defender, but some posters (not you) make it sound like he has already arrived. As a fan, I understand that Frank is a project. Not going to freak out if he looks like a rookie, like everyone else. Fans should give him time, especially those who wanted to see someone else drafted (1248 cough, cough |
) I did too, but I would love to be wrong.|

Cant even say I thought he was the best prospect, rather I just liked him the most. I do think he's got elite level tools backed by a good family and a great work ethic. He's played vs. pros, he's a winner and you can tell from the videos he simply fits in.fishmike wrote:GustavBahler wrote:I expect him to struggle most nights. He's a rookie guard in the NBA.

I think you will a nice steady upward progression starting with a nice spot 20-25 minutes a night off the bench. But he's gonna take lumps... you gotta see him through that.
