Having Mitch patroling the paint (and the perimeter) will help cover whatever mistakes Randle makes on D. And Randle compliments Robinson with an inside game, Mitch doesnt have..yet.

Randle being able to hit the 3 regularly doesnt concern me too much. If he can drift out to the perimeter once in a while, when he's feeling it, thats enough for me. Oakley did the same thing. Spent most of his time in the paint, but could hit that corner shot, once in a while to keep the D honest. We'll hopefully have enough 3 point shooting at other positions. If we have to count on Randle hitting the three, we could be in trouble. Not that it isnt a goal worth pursuing.

That's a lot of expectations for what he has displayed so far. Maybe in a few years if he keeps improving to match his potential. I don't think he will be THE PLAYER to do it, but he can be apart of a combination of players.

exactly, he has to be put in the right situation/role, with the right system and the right players around him and the right coach..

To me he's a charlie ward type player, but imagine charlie ward without Ewing, starks, oak, Mason, harper, JVG.

He's the last vestige of your Prez/GM. Enjoy his highlights against Guatemala or Belize or whatever. It will most likely be the last you probably see of him doing anything consequential besides getting injured or traded.

that's a little harsh

But those highlights of the game he did well in, seem like a pick up game nobody played anything remotely close to defense..

Ummm, isn't that basically just about any FIBA game?

He's very young and his approach on offense has been timid. He has a long way to go before he is a starting point in the nba. His fibs reviews have been good. Maybe he beats out Kadeem as the third point guard and his progress continues. I am not sure if you are setting up a talking point for how the Knicks messed up if they let him go or don't renew his deal or if you mean what you posted.

This is the Knicks very unlikely that Frank gets a contract with the Knicks. It’s not in the Knicks history to do so. Frank will take his talents elsewhere. If I were to pick a spot he probably will go to the Spurs.

go have a ****ing cookie bro

Cookies are awesome. You know I’m right and it really frustrates you. Control your anger and apathy for people who don’t share your opinions. There are probably 25-30 poster who by passed my post yet it amazes me how often you respond to mine.

My post scare you I get it because it’s what you feel will happen. It’s the Knicks bro.

IMO. Moving Frank is a mistake. He just showed why he is valuable. He is 21. 3rd year. Let him blossom. If he does it, you will have a leader for the next 10 years.

If we move frank what will we talk about?? LOL!
Frank is a kid that has succeeded at every level he played on. Perhaps he came over too early? If so we know he was a prospect and still growing.
Early results with him and KP were actually encouraging. They had some good chemistry. The revolving door that has been our roster is hard on any player yet alone one young and instinctively unselfish.
