He wants to have DSJr as the starting PG by hook or by crook. Not starting Frank, when he is the only true PG available, because he wants to protect him from foul trouble is downright ridiculous and reeks of stupidity.
I don't see this at all and have a different take.
Frank's biggest problem is confidence along with just not having the killer/leader mentality.
Frank has also made too many self-imposed errors that just kill the team, witness that 3 minute stint.
Playing against starters for a guy like Frank, in lieu of even making a small mistake, is infinitely greater. Against backups, Frank can thrive and the Knicks NEED to kick start him. The Knicks NEED to get this guy going and build his confidence on small brick at a time (hahahaaha).
Frank played 30 minutes last night and it's the total minutes that count, not starting/coming off bench.
