Geometry: The Frank Kaminsky Thread

He was talking about Milsap being an interesting free agent, but that description reminded me a lot of what Frank could end up being.

I don't think these guys peaks only last a year, he should be peaking next year and for the next 5 years or so. I don't think he will get much better though due to the injuries and his style of play. Hopefully he will but I am not convinced that this isn't about it. And yeah at 24 in your 5th pro season you should be approaching your best and stay there for 5+ years. MKG is seemingly stuck at good role player or below average starter.

More media work for Frank.

Frank is certainly on a path to have a successful career after playing basketball. It's not often you see a player that's not remotely a star player get so much TV time of face value.

Showing half court Play Types + Playmaking efficiency, Drives efficiency, and Paint Touch efficiency.

Frank's balanced distribution was kinda amazing, actually.

Been wondering if frank should be a center full time (or primarily I should say). I think it would work well with a defensive pf and mkg on 2nd unit.

MKG should be that power forward IMO

he did it in short bursts last season. unfortunately the roster we're locked into with so many PF/Cs probably keeps that from happening. We have a lot invested in Cody, Frank, Plumlee, and Marvin. I think he would do it if Plumlee wasn't there

According to this research, Frank had the 2nd highest % of open 3s last year. Meanwhile Batum and Marco at the bottom.

Frank needs to earn some gravity.

Kemba was even lower 1.2%

Also funny Durant on the low list. Where is Steph?

It's a defacto list of handlers/off screen shooters v Rollers/screeners.

And Kemba below either Marco or Batum. Not surprising since those three were by far the only players who could create their own shot on the perimeter.

Sound about right. Frank always was left open for 3s. It aggravated me most of the season that he shot them so much and shot low percentages on OPEN shots. He had some good months near the end of the season tho so that gave me some hope.

Batum and Marco being at the bottom of the list makes sense because they both are slow pokes that barely can generate separation. Batum's offensive advantage is that he can shoot over most SGs. Marco shot difficult shots all season and for some odd reason it seemed liked the harder the shot the better for him because he missed the open 3s more often than not.

Btw that list isn't "openness" percent, but rather what percentile each player falls in. Curious to know what defines openness in that stat.

No defender within X feet probably. Seen it like that elsewhere I think they used 4 feet

Is it just me or did he seem to shoot better on slightly contested threes? The amount of wide open threes he's missed in his first two years really frustrated me. I hope he can get his shot together because if he can he will become very useful
