He hasn’t looked right the last few games.
He's struggled the last few games but he's the same age as Frank...Why does Frank get the 'be patient' label but DSJ doesn't
People are "patient" with Frank? Where was this?
Thats what I said...People are patient with Frank but not so much with DSJ.
I'm probably not in that overly patient with Frank group because I agree with you, I think he's been straight trash this year.
But like someone else said, there's one fundamental difference. I think there's a better pathway for Frank to become an effective player on a winning team because he's very good defensively and unselfish offensively. Basically in this league, it's going to hurt you if you have players that don't want to fit in the role that's right for them. DSJ, even if you're talking strictly about relative to players at his age and experience...is not good enough for the role he wants and tries to play, and we've already seen him balk at taking a step to what would be more appropriate for him.
I am concerned with Frank though because he'd have to be a good shooter and passer/decision maker to make it in the role that's right for him, and he's not even close on either end. He's a bad shooter and he's timid with his decision-making. It's a huge red flag that he didn't improve at all from year 1 to year 2.
