I too root hard for this kid to succeed. Hard to pinpoint the reasons why. maybe its Knicks1248 negativity that makes me want him to succeed even more? because he was so young and it being a bit of a stretch pick for Phil? Wanting the stranger that was Gaines to keep up the good work? That his family story and work ethic for the three brothers was inspiring? Hope prevails. I don't want to see him succeed anywhere but as a knick. That would be painful. Maybe some fans would rather be "right" and see him fall to verify their own vanity. That's awful. |

Despite what a certain person says 20 years old isnt enough time to develop a player unless you get lucky. However its possible Frank doesnt work out here. Its not like he hasnt shown anything. We all know his defense is really good. He is a smart player. Yes we know his offense is still developing but we have seen flashes of it. I just feel is far too early to pull the plug.CrushAlot wrote:nykshaknbake wrote:You have to hold on to him now. Noone is giving more than a mid 2nd rounder likely.

It’s getting to that time. If Frankie doesn’t shoot then no point having him around.
