Almost like burke was speaking to Rainman1248.

I know when i was 15(shy, passive like frank and long and lanky) and my brother was 20, i always used to try and play with them, always getting picked last, and always deferring to the bigger guys. When i got to JHS, i started playing with guys my age and size, i started becoming much more aggressive and My confidence was on the rise..

By the time I turned 17, I gradually started playing with my brother again and I became so much better, i mean those dudes were shocked at how good i got. If i had continued to play with them, it would have been a struggle, the touches were far less, and I was always nervous so i would pass the ball on open shots.

I'm just saying, it wouldn't hurt because i have been in his shoes (just not at his level) but i can relate.

Another of your nonsensical anecdotal stories to prove your point. What ego you must have to even think you can equate your experience to prove a point?
But lets digress, what happened in two year from 15 to 17? Get bigger or stronger? You got better because you played Jr high and that gave you the confidence? What if you just played with big brother for those two years?
So basically you think you can relate even on a microscopic level and think you have the answer? Frank was a year older than your scrawny self and an NBA player. No wonder your messed up about him.

your hilarious, people around me always get a good laugh from your lame responses

"People"? You actually share this with others?
Did you share the time zone blunder you never owned up to? If you did they'd never let you off the hood for that gem.
Naw, I don't think you share this. Your making shyt up again.

Personally, I find the notion people 'around' him are interested to be far more damning. Who the hell are these people?

Frank is shooting over 40% on 3s. Yes, I know it is small sample size but certain people on this board claim he could not possibly average 15 pts.

He won't, and nobody is asking for it. 10/5/3 would already be a nice improvement on his first season. The first games were a bit of a concern as his stat lines hadn't improved one inch despite him getting more playing time, the last two are encouraging but let's not get carried away yet.

Kid has no confidence.(It ) Issue I was worried about all along. Do think he has improved. Hopefully Fiz is pushing the right buttons to get him out of his shell. I'm over complaining about the draft choice and have seen some good things from Frank this year to make me think he can pay some dividends. Regardless, he has to be given the right chance to succeed. And that's not 1 year and 12 games.
