Not sure this team has ever had as many guards on the roster. Sessions Dotson to DLeague and Jack waived? THJ can also play 3 at times. Given what seems to be the Knicks commitment to Baker, I can't see keeping Sessions and Jack. Would they consider letting Frank play in a DL game or two if the Knicks are home and Westchester has a home game on an NYK off day?

Smart and thoughtful young men. These are the kinds of men the Spurs usually collect and the Knicks have been really focused on the mental makeup of these kids. People can bash Phil for his many mistakes but he and his team did a nice job with the character of these young men. |

I like Frankie. I also like that he has a quiet confidence he wants to prove people wrong

It's actually possible that Frank was constrained on his team last season by their rigid, european system. He might just be better than we all know and it could become evident in Hornacek's free flowing offense.

They need to bring Labeyrie to come over so they can have The French Connection.
