The ability to contribute without being featured is critical for winning teams. Frank has that potential about him. Sure he hasn't produced towards our liking so far, but I would absolutely hate to see a Vonleh situation unfold. Hornets would absolutely love to have Vonleh in their lineup right now. Frank also regardless of his struggles has put in work this season. He stays late after every practice. He puts in work during pre game warmups. He works his ass off on his game. Has to be only a matter of time before that type of work starts to pay dividends, right? That said I would't be upset if we landed Ja Morant this coming draft if we aren't able to net Zion. https://vote.nba.com/en Vote for your Knicks.

He measures at 6'3 with a decent wingspan though forget exact measurements. So given his age and size physically he measures out. He holds a 62% TS and rates at a 93.1 defensive rating which are both elite #s. His 6 rebounds per game is also very impressive. He has a .312 WS 48 and a 2.0 Defensive Box Plus Minus. And again he is only 19 yrs old who will have 2 years of college ball under his belt. He has measurements and physical gifts to be a quality defender. And he produces at an elite level. As a prospect you can't really ask for much more. 55.6 ast% on 32% usage rate. 8.2 Fts per game. Taking a shot on a kid with all this going for him would be a sound decision. He is almost everything that you are looking for in a prospect. https://vote.nba.com/en Vote for your Knicks.

A few things I noticed about Frank in his summer approach. He has a slow release, tomuch dribbling around without north-south movements. To much dribbling while stationary. He needs to learn catch and cut at the same time. He needs to start using the Kiki First step and blow bye the person guarding him.
He needs to watch a lot of Harden Westbrook, Chris Paul, Kidd, Kobe and Jordan he needs to mimic these guys and their style. Like Kobe copied Jordan. |

Lots of guys watched Jordan, but few could copy him. Frank needs to start by taking and hitting open jumpshots. Right now it is almost like he is digusted by the act of taking a shot. He will never be a driving/slashing type of PG, but a reliable jumpshot is maybe all he'd need to be a quality pass-first defensive-minded PG. The Knicks can look to have scorers in other positions.

Less of a highlight reel on this clip and more passing which seems to be really crisp. Still got Zion and Barret in front of him. But staying in the top three of this draft is very important. Reddish seems to be disappearing in games, the drop off after 3 will be precipitous. I cannot teach anybody anything. I can only try to make them think - Socrates
