He has a really unique self-effacing personality with deadpan humor. But also confident in simmering kind of way. Like "don't talk to me when I'm pissed. In fact, don't look at me."

I really like this pick... one of those rare bball decisions where Jordan did hit nail with hammer, and hot his thumb.

Is "Seven Nation Army" (or, as Frank wrote, "Nations) on the in-game playlist? If not it will be now.

Frank is an alpha, and I see him taking over this team in a few years... maybe one... good times ahead of the MJ Franchise... (if Frank remains healthy)

He didn't even have the best pro potential on his team last year. That goes to Nigel Hayes who I think will be a beast. I like Frank, and I think he'll start sooner than later, but taking over the team? Nah. I don't foresee that at all.

he's a leader. he's the type of guy who doesn't have to dunk, run like a gazelle, shoot tough fall-aways or leap over people to make a team good. he does the intangibles, and again, his leadership quality, BBall IQ, are tops.

Will be interesting - I think Hayes will have the second best career and I love his game. He could be a POY candidate this year. I'd bet Dekker is the 4th best pro from that team. They were stacked - lol their 7th man just signed a contract with Sac.

Kaminsky appears to be the most confident man since Ivan Drago.

Nigel Hayes, Kaminsky's teammate and possible 2016 NBA lottery pick, on their #1 ranked offense ever in the KenPom era:

"Fun fact: we didn't run the swing offense last year. We ran the 'give the ball to Frank and move' offense. I think it worked pretty well, if you ask me."
