SHort sample in his return and does not mean the kid is back on a better trajectory. It’s also not a one man game so who your playing with matters.
But........
The defense energy was their and more important it was the Fiz Kids that were on the floor.
There was nothing about frank that was so different but with him playing the ball movement was their and if he can hit his shot he will draw defenders to him and AWAY from others.
This is such a simple concept and its why he has to sit. HE does not have to hit at an elite rate but he has to function at an avg NBA relate.
The pick and roll was also back last night. It’s a major weapon for KP as well when he returns. Bottom line is Frank plays defense and the team had two 24 second holds on the nets! This bought the energy. The defense fuels the offense. This team looked very different in the 4th quarter than it has in the last few games.
Half full or half empty. In a way Fiz and the “Craig Robinson Special Sauce” (my concoction) seems to be doing a very good job! It’s inconsstant as it should be with young players but its also creating a problem for who plays and who does not. It’s not as simple as “Play the yoots” and see where it goes as you run the risk of burn out and as Knicks1248 repeatingly says can led to bad habits. Fiz likely has an idea of where he wants to go with this team but the hard part how to get there. For fans its especially difficult to understand as the ebbs and flows don’t always add up.
I’m glad I stuck with the game last nite to see the 4th quarter. It gives me hope.
