I like Bradley but I would want a surefire penetrator next to Frank

Is that a bust at pick 8 or did we still draft an incredibly valuable rotation guy? I think that is downside assuming he stays healthy. I'm not sure what you are seeing, but Frank has absolutely looked like an NBA player. He is showing the type of defensive potential that is a game-changer for a team. Frank probably defends better than anyone else in the draft does any one particular thing. Offense will take some time, but he has a soft jump shot that will come with confidence and long strides, similar to Giannis, which makes the natural explosiveness of a Mitchell less necessary. His talent is more like a Draymond Green type athlete than a Westbrook. He will never jump off the stat sheet, but it's pretty clear he's not a bust. |

PG--Frank All these guys have great length/wing span for defense, plenty of shooting with everyone (still waiting on Frank), serious shot blocking from KP6 and M.Turner. I'd really have no problem at all putting Timmy in the SG spot. He's really proven himself this year to be the guy we hoped he would be. |

But you're comparing Frank to people that have played so much more basketball then he has over in europe with the minimal minutes he was getting so i think it's easier for them to pick up where they left off and Mitchell is also getting much more playing time this year, not only in the summer league and preseason which Frank didn't play but so far in the regular season as well. Frank also isn't the quick and athletic player that Mitchell is and we already knew that coming in. We have to give Frank more time to catch up with these other rookie guards. |
