Takeaways: First pre season game so NO One should have their panties in a bunch.
Frank looked like a solid all around athletic player. Liked his composure. Still a long way to go before he proves he deserved to be a low lotto pick or is a difference maker. KP looked more aggressive but still rarely looks for his team mates. Timmy looked like the same Timmy before Phil decided he needed to go. (A very good shooter that can get really hot but likes to hover the 3pt line a bit too much). Didn't like seeing the heat check shots after a couple of makes but did notice his effort to set guys up. Liked Buckets. Think he will be a good guy to stretch the floor off the bench. Kanter seemed nervous. Think he has a lot of offense in him. Willy seemed as though he does not like the competition. Maybe thought he already earned the starting job. Lee should be in the starting lime up. By far the best 2. Always wondered why Beasley never made it. Saw signs of why last night. Overall think we are deeper than I thought. We added some good role players. However, our defense did not seem to improve. That will be the key as I dont think we have a guy that can take over a game on offense. Defense will be even more importamt than last year. But by far my biggest takeaway was.....

He has to prove that he can reach his full potential true. But he has displayed potential to disrupt the PNR and passing lanes with his length and recovery ability, run the PG position creating for teammates regularly, shooting the ball. At 6'5, with a 7ft wing span. He would be a freshman in college right now. He has the tools to be a really good all around player. The type of pass first defensive guard that players LOVE to play with. Which is worth a high lotto pick. https://vote.nba.com/en Vote for your Knicks.

Draft picks dont prove if they were worth a lotto pick until years into their careers. As every pick has :potential" and reasons why teams "thought" they were worth a pick. With that logic, "EVERY" pick ever made was "worth" the lotto pick. 'Knicks focus should be on players that have grown up playing soccer or cricket' - Triplethreat 8/28/2020

Lotto picks are taken in the lotto due to their ability to contribute immediately and or their level of potential. Frank is a unique PG who can playmaker, shoot, defend, with high IQ packaged in a 6'5 7ft wingspan frame. The question was if he had enough athletic ability and speed to play in this league with these level athletes. Time will tell if its a issue. But signs are pointing to this not being a issue that negates his positive impact. There has def been lesser talented players taken in the lottery. https://vote.nba.com/en Vote for your Knicks.

But, as you said,.time will tell. Think your missing my point. Every pick is an "educated" roll of the dice. Most have scouts tauting as to why they make sense. However, NO pick proves to be "worth" a draft pick until they become successful. A lotto pick only proves to be worth it if he becomes an integral part 9f a teams success. Are you saying Okafor was worth a lotto pick? Just because people, at the time, thought he was? If you do then you better ask someone in Philly. Btw.
