This was an interesting find. To sum up: There are many ways to look at this and spin it. Why didnt they do this earlier? However the positive spin is if they Knicks have done more to help Frank than they have in the past that can only be a good thing. Frank getting rotation minutes would be amazing.

Not sure how you coach that out of a guy but he will definitely put in the work. I don’t know if he will ever develop a “bite your head off” mentality but I think this next season will certainly truly begin defining his character on the court. He has 2 starting guards to compete with. One of them is expected to break out (DSJ) and one of them is at least pretty decent with triple double capabilities. If he sees this as competition and this lights a fire under his ars then he has every ability to actually break out, especially since he has two seasons under his belt. If it’s more of the same ol’ with him, then we can start considering him a bust. He absolutely HAS to become a lot more aggresive. “Whenever I’m about to do something, I think ‘Would an idiot do that?’ and if they would, I do NOT do that thing.”- Dwight Schrute

Certain guys just have that endless confidence that they can do anything and are relentless. Frank will always be passive. Its too bad, because I think he is one of the most physically gifted guys we have. You give him DSJR confidence and you have a potential All Star. Maybe he puts ot together this year.

Especially when he's posting these video's....It's only helping his stock rise. He's still a top 10 guard defender, on a team with mostly offensive players. As soon as our guards continue to get beat on defense, Frank will be called on. Born in Brooklyn, Raised in Queens, Lives in Maryland.
The future is bright, I'm a Knicks fan for life!

Knicks have 4.8m,6m,8m committed over next 3 years. With third being QO. However, getting closer to the day that summer videos wont be enough to save him from the Knicks giving up on him. Have a bet he turns it around this year though. 'Knicks focus should be on players that have grown up playing soccer or cricket' - Triplethreat 8/28/2020
