A point on the bold... I dont know how old you are but Im a couple decades from 25. You mature alot, and some more than others. My approach to many things in life was significantly different from age 22 to age 25. Burke knows nothing is being handed to him, he's gotta work for it every minute and thats what the great ones do.

Burke looks like a liability on D, but perhaps with other guys we can hide him some. Timmy/Frank/Dotson/Lee are all quality defenders (please no Baker, ANYONE but Baker )
That being said so what... its obviously early but he looks like a guy who would be great coming off the bench as the first guard. He's got a tremendous scoring ability and can generate TOs. He's fast but not long. He's got to find a way to bring pressure on the ball or stay on guy's hips else he's going to get smoked at the other end every night. Still who cares... we need young talent and good players and replacing Sessions with a 25 year old PG who brings some needed dimensions is a no brainer.

Cant wait to see more of him

That's the reason burke was traded, and not resigned by the wizards. No one has that kind of patience. If you don't come in to the nba making noise, your going to get traded, especially if the team isn't winning.

If we are winning, chances are frank has a lot to do with that, if we are losing, chances are frank has a lot to do with that

Not every kid or player is right for the developmental leagues. I assure you the Knicks aren't being stubborn they are trying to figure out the best way to develop frank and ensure future success. If every team sent every single struggling rookie down that would be one thing but they don't. Ask yourself why?

Excited about Burke. I'd try lightning frank's load a bit. Maybe play him alongside Burke. Let him focus on defense and spot up shooting for a bit.

Some of you who killed the pick and killed the player are doubling down now on Frank's deficiencies. We get it. You (one specific poster in this thread) don't have to remind us with every post how shaky frank is right now. We can see it. You're still too rash at times and way too excited to rip the kid at every turn.

Yeah, we just need to be patient with Frank. If he's not ready as a 19 year old rookie so be it. We have to work with his developmental timetable, not Dennis Smith's or Donovan Mitchell's.
