Some of you guys are overstating his impact but thats expected from some of you. At this point, Frank is a defensive specialist off the bench. Nothing wrong with that role as most teams need players like that. Still tons of work needs to be done on the offensive end as he finished with 3 turnovers and was 0-6 from the field. I would love for the Knicks to move Payton at the deadline and allow Dennis and Frank to run the show....
this is EXACTLY what Frank is right now, and I am as big a Frank homer as anyone except vmart but we wont go there.Frank's defense WAS great. Like Kyrie burning us late the guy who was dangerous was Zach and Frank was drapped all over him late. Frank's defense only stood up because others around him made the shots he missed. He missed one open look, long rebound is tipped out to Knox who buries it. Frank was high fiving him like Frank was the guy who's error didnt hurt the team because of an inning saving catch by Knox... it was cute. Glad he got into the game and did was he does best and it helped us win the game. Sounds like from Fizdale's comments that Frank is "next up" so it looks like he's gonna get some burn
I don’t know how you guys expect a player to score right off the bat after getting such inconsistent playing time. Before last night he played 3 minutes of game time. He didn’t even play in the last preseason game. His shooting will come with a more consistent role and playing time. Real time action is so different from practice.
I guess you can say the same for payton and DSJ..
If he's not consistent, then he will never have a consistent role unless there is injuries.
There's just too many option at his position.
Fiz said the other day (when asked why barrets playing so many minutes)he said Barret makes it tough for him to pull him from the game because of his play (40 mins last night)
frank doesn't make it tough for the coach to pull him..
