This Graph and Stat says a lot about how bad DRose is and how much better Frank is at this point.

How'd that go?fishmike wrote:http://www.82games.com/1718/17DAL2.HTM Great TEAM facts attributed to ONE player on Defense. Its obvious the kid adds to the penetration defense. And yes he is a very good defender But easy with all these TEAM stats attributed to ONE player. As you noticed during your team defense stat search, OKC is ranked #2 in the league in points allowed?? And who is on that team? Hint it was a former player from the Knicks who is currently ranked 21 himself!! So lets slow down with the statements of ONE players affect on defense. Its a team practice. And we sucked last three years when we gave up on Tyson, Smith and Shump and went to guys like DRose, Jose, etc. Btw, no one ever said we could not win without Melo. We said that the ridiculous D league talent, he was surrounded with the last 3 years, could not win without him. That was a fact. Since you bring it up, Did you know that the guys from last year that made up over 8000 minutes with the Knicks are all either not playing in the league, in the D league, on becnhes without playing 1 minute or in the case of Rose and Holiday are shooing 30% or less?? But it was Melo. But lets not make this thread another Melo one. We have enough of those. Lets keep the Smith vs Frank gamely comparrison going. I hope he proves me wrong tonight because I hate Toronto!! 'Knicks focus should be on players that have grown up playing soccer or cricket' - Triplethreat 8/28/2020

How'd that go?fishmike wrote:http://www.82games.com/1718/17DAL2.HTM Agree with all. Again, people have mistaken my opinion that the 8th pick should have been Smith, Mitchell or Monk as a put down on the Kid or that I am rooting against him. I'm not. This, for me, is about the belief we needed to shoot for the fences, with the 8th pick, with a player like Smith. Like you said, you dont see that kind of athleticism often, available to you in the draft. Funny because the same thing i am proposing is exactly what we did in picking KP. I would love to see all the guys who hated the KP pick and suggested guys like C Stein or Winslow instead because of their defense efficiency and combo stats. How is that looking like? IMO, thats what the top 10 pick is for. Picking guys that are possible franchise players, not good role players. Dont get me wrong. I really like Frank. I BELIEVE every team needs guys like Frank. Just dont think it is the type of player you add by using your 8th pick. Some on here know thats what i am saying. Others are making it about Frank himself and that I hate the Kid. That's fine. I'll be rooting for Frank and definately not gonna cry over spilled milk. He is Knick and I root for all Knicks. But....Will continue the comparrison on this thread though,.its fun proving people wrong. Lol. But hey, rooting harder for Frank to prove me wrong.

And this was the 4th pick. Quite a few felt the same way about KP. Wasn't so much about what we knew about him, but what we didnt know. If we hadn't picked KP would have been more than fine with Russell with the 4th pick. He was averaging 20/5 before he went down. |

Which shows he has no understanding of what he is talking about. While that's not exactly breaking news, it does speak to the level of ignorance that's out there about some of these stats. This stat uses a team defensive stat as input but it's designed to measure an individual player's contribution to the team. It's a much better stat to look at than comparing Win Sahres across teams, IMO. I cannot teach anybody anything. I can only try to make them think - Socrates

If you stopped hitting yourself with an eraser you would have noticed the basic point was that ONE players affect or non affect on a TEAM defense is over stated. Anyone would agree to that. As this is a team sport. But if you want to say that a TEAM's rating is a great way to highlight ONE players defensive skills, then okay. So I guess you agree that since Melo is ranked #21! and OKC #2 in the league, Melo is a great defender? Got it. And guys that don't know anything about basketball are guys that spend all their time on a computer looking for meaningless stats to put down HOF's or have never played the sport at ANY level. Those are called Trolls or Meloshouldgo or LinshouldCum. Bro, we both know your extent of basketball knowledge is a google search and playing with your fellow weight/height challenged friends. But keep pretending. Not that you should not post your opinion, but at least make it make sense and not just hate driven.

Way to comment on something you know nothing about. Martin is well aware of how I talk to most on here. However,this guy has said far worse, to some on here, than "Eraser Boy". Easy rule....you talk sports and we can have a fierce debate . You come at me with insults, I can do the same. So maybe mind your business? Or let's just talk Knicks?

I listed below the real +/- for the first 10 players drafted this year as of right now. Frank was drafted in the 8th spot and he has the 3rd best +/- of the top 10 players drafted. Plus, I think he has more upside than most, since everyone who's been in contact with him seems to speak highly of his intelligence and work ethic.

If you read the post he's replying to, Meloshouldgo basically calls him consistently ignorant. I think this post is on parity with what he was replying to. |
