As much as I like frank and want to see him progress, I have a very good feeling he is going to be a career back up (albeit a good one). He does not have the desire to take to it to the rim even when the lane is open.

Frank is shooting an horrific 34%fg, 25% behind the arc, and 64% from the charity striped, and he hasn't had a FT attempt in the last 6 games. Offensively he is really bad. sessions was looking suspect in the first 3 games, but he look like his old self in the last game, and he's obviously the fast guard we have.

What do you guys think?

You don't wasn't right kill the kud confidence but he could actually use some g league starts. He's got to be more aggressive

The thing is, the team sucks regardless. This is an example of how the eye test can mislead you. You see Sessions working the PnR and getting into the lane and you're like "Wow, he's getting things done out there." Yet you look at the scoreboard and we're usually worse off. Yeah, he might look better than Frank, but the team doesn't perform better. The same goes for Jack. Sessions was handed the starting job and Jack took it from him.

Correct - People always fall into the trap of thinking the one style of play they are most familiar with is the only way to succeed. Even when the actual data tells a different story.

Isn't it obvious that Frank's having knee issues? He's a very good defensive player but even on that end, it seems difficult for him to get into his stance. Wouldn't be surprised if he inevitably gets shut down and has surgery that keeps him out an extended period of time.

Whatever the case, I think Frank was the best option available to us that late in the draft.

One style they are most familiar with? Is this the psychic friends network?

Ramon should get a run with the second unit with Frank. Why not play Frank at the 2 guard and play a little smaller and quicker. I don't think we should be so close minded with regards to Frank. He can be a 2 or 1 in the league and right now he has value as a versatile defender and player moreso than anything else.

What I don't want to lose or become is the team we were last year where players begin to call their own number, drive to the paint, do their own thing. Whatever Frank doesn't do right, he gets one thing right that identifies our team this year. We pass the ball looking for a teammate and we play hard on defense. You want Frank's mentality to keep infecting the team that way.

All that said, Frank was in a rut the last few games and hadn't impacted the defense side either. He's a rookie. This is part of the process for him.

Doesn't have to be one extreme or another. I agree Frank encourages players to pass the ball, and thats great. If Frank doesnt do his share in keeping the defense honest, at some point it becomes passing the buck.

Would like to see more from Sessions. Still not sold. Hope Baker starts going to the rim himself. Its like there is a freaking PG force field around the rim. Solving this problem (one way or another) has to be point of emphasis for the Knicks, if they are serious about competing, let alone contending.

Anyone who agrees with Knicks1248 is got to be off their rockers. This is about development. Stick with the plan and stop getting ahead of yourselves.
