DSJ has flashier game but he’s got a long way to go before he’s a positive impact on his team. Frank is already more of a positive impact despite his low scoring.

But that does not mean that he is the most effective player overall. Frank definitely needs to be more of an offensive threat but I think he will get there. Trust the Process

I just think Frank has the right base to build on. He’s focused on running the team FIRST and while he’s not a factor scoring he’s at least helping his teammates to perform better which is the PRIMARY function of a PG. I expect over time he’ll improve his scoring. DSJ is Scoring but the TEAM plays worse with him on the court. |

Think he will be a good player in this league. The thing that I look for is to see if he is a special player. And "Special" players have a killer insticnt, ability to know when take over a game, embracing the spotlight, ridiculous level of self confidence and are never afraid to take the big shot. Things I dont think Frank has naturally. And to be fair, not too many do. Hopefully he will improve in some but most of these are not something you can teach or learn with time. You either have it or you dont. Its what seperates the special from the average. IMO, DS and Mitchell have IT.

Frank has shoved Lebron at MSG. Frank closed out Kyrie Irving in the 4th qtr. Frank put up a great game vs. a national hero in Parker. Frank has shown plenty of IT my man... I have seen plenty of IT from Frank. I think Frank's IT shuts down Dennis Smith's IT every time and twice on Tuesday when it comes down to a 7 game series... but time will tell "winning is more fun... then fun is fun" -Thibs

He has already made a ton of big plays when it mattered. I think to an extent that shows the IT factor people are talking about. Smith and Mitchell are both older than Frank and are American players, so Frank definitely has a steeper learning curve for those reasons. His personality is less outspoken. He's more of the silent killer-type. But everything i have seen indicates he has as much, if not more upside than Smith up to this point. Mitchell is special, no doubt. But being 2 years older and clearly more NBA ready, i expect Frank to close the gap somewhat in time. |

The dude would be golden on a 90s knick team. You seem to focus on the couple of plays he does well, and miss the 5 or 6 plays he has been really bad. Lee shoots well enough to easily be a top 10 scorer in this league, but he has a role player mentality like 80% of the roster. Every player has the potential to be a All star, only a hand full live up to their potential. Everybody in Dallas believes DSJ will be all star, but most Knick fans will pick his game a part and focus on his negatives ES
