Last night was frank’s breakout he absolutely dominated his opponent on offense in the 3rd quarter. If frank is starting to realize he can’t be stopped by smaller guards Watch Out! His mid range first step is deadly long.... last nights game was a huge stepping stone for his development. I want frank to keep being a ball hog!

Even his hair looked more in control!!

be wary of valuing garbage time minutes. very different dynamic

Did you watch his minutes?
Don't get me wrong, Baker should be first waived player. I've seen garbage time. Courtney was not playing garbage and team did not give up.

The shot was syrupy smooth!!! The kid looked great. I loved Fez's reaction when there was a time out. The kid dominated for a few minutes. I don't know if that was the breakout but THAT HAD TO HAPPEN IF THERE WAS TO BE A BREAKOUT/UPSIDE to occur!!! Reference moments where it he "FEELS IT".
When Trier returns I don't know whose minutes he takes but at some point Fiz has to decide something about Mudiay and Burke. Both have improved this year and has worked hard.
With at team like this its not always about who deserves the minutes. Burke has busted his arse and earned his spot but sometimes age and potential trump above the rest. If the team was winning you go with what works. Its not, then its about the future.
All of Fizdales combinations have worked and not worked. Nobody has clearly stood out in long stretches. Dotson has earned his spot in the rotation certainly over Mario.
If he sets goals for the players and its defined who is and who is not meeting them then the order should sit reasonably with who is sitting.
All things being equal, you play the Yoot. In my mind Trier takes Burkes minutes. Trier backs Timmy. Mudiay and Frank are at the PG. Mario should be out. Start Knox, Mario back up. Dotson deserves to play. There is a problem there. I get Mario's place and why he is playing. Thats Logic. Emotionally I'd waive him. I have not seen anything that makes me want to keep him. Dot is a bit small for the SF spot. I'd be inclined to trade him if there is a value that can be had.

Mario should be out of the rotation. Knox should be starting. It's time.

It's more imppressive that he had this type of game after having such a horrible November. Shows he is willing to fight. Willing to put in the work. Shows Fizz is in these guys ears building them up.

I am also wondering if it was fatigue and those game off allowed him to rest and rejuvenate himself?

But now he needs to string together multiple games.

Two games now he has had good moments. Lets be real, it not logical he being comes "LINsane" over nite. Inconsistency is the norm for young players. The kid looks like he still don't shave!! I think 20 min a nite as back up and as long as he has moments with more consistency. It was rumored KP likes Frank in the line up and one can see his PNR is really quite good!
He does connect with Mitch well.
