Folks have been down on the French since the "freedom fries" era, when France stayed out of the Iraq war. Now some are upset because so many Americans would rather have a President Macron than the orange guy now in office.
Frank, a Frenchman, is caught up in a political soap opera that has spilled into sports. We don't want the considerate, thoughtful, and teamwork oriented PG...we want him selfish and arrogant, me-first PG.
I just hope he doesn't take a knee during the anthem.
On a serious note...Frank will be fine. His D is already superior, and his offensive issues seem to be coming around, and are more mental than they are a deficiency in skill, anyway.
He's reached a point where he can guard the 1-4 slots, which makes him as versatile a defender as there is in the league, and he a bit more than 2 months past his 20th birthday.
We've seen more aggressiveness and craft in his offensive game so far...he needs to have a few go-to moves he can count on. I actually believe, though, if Fizdale was to tell him he's getting 35MPG and the "team was his," you would see a different player. He is still too deferential at this point.
EnySpree: Can we agree to agree not to mention Phil Jackson and triangle for the rest of our lives?
