Plus remember, we got to see Trey in college.
And he still shot awfully and wasn’t like this. Frank don’t even have college years
In 5 years Frank still won’t be Burke’s age right now
Frank is younger than half the projected first round this year (according to tankathon)
Ayton, Porter, Bamba, and SGA are all older than him as freshmen and mocked to go in the lottery. And he's only a month and a half older than Trae Young. Kid is young as f*ck
Frank had a chance for a layup earlier, but moved in slow motion... Today game is exactly what I think Frank will be. I've compared him to Eric Snow and Anthony Roberson.
He is slow as hell, lacks dribbling ability, and can't shoot. He's a good defender. I don't go by exactly what a player produces on the court, I go by what he shows. Good game or bad game we know Trey has shooting ability and ball handling ability. Difference between this year and other years, he's getting more time and his shots are going in.
The same way we can scout a college player and say we don't want him because we don't see this or that, a player being drafted by the Knicks doesn't change that. I didn't see Frank play before this year. But he's not showing things where I feel he'll be a keeper or a franchise talent. If he can get to the basket, but missed layups, cool. But he can't. If he can actually dribble the ball and break down a defense but his teammate missed the shot so he didn't get the assist, I'll understand, but that doesn't happen. He literally shows no offensive ability. No, I don't need him to score 20 ppg or get 10 apg, but he plays like the 38 year old version of Pablo Pirigioni. Prime Eric Snow. They play defense, but they aren't defensive stoppers. And on offense everything they give is a bonus. That's not what I want with th 8th pick.
Remember discussions we had about Ben Simmons this past offseason and he hasn't even played a NbA game? Remember how I praised him? I know what I see.
