PG Thread: FRANK GANG GANG UNITE - 'Remi Bomb: Pg 13

[dakomish23]

Back to the lecture at hand. This was my favorite Frank pass from last night, mainly because of how quick/decisive/accurate it was. Plus there was a bit of no-look to it, which never hurts.

In my never ending quest to find the answer why the Knicks outside shooting sucks compared to other teams, the fact that they rarely have or had a PG who makes crisp passes to the open shooter in a decisive manner was a reason I kept thinking.
Of course some of it is the players, some of it is coaching and the plays run. I'm starting to think 1/2 of it was the guards running the offense, because the shooters looked more comfortable even with Baker out there, and with Frank it jumped again.

I expect outside shooting percentages to go up

Absolutely. Having a PG who gets you the ball in rhythm and in your hands ready to fire will boost everyone by 10%. So many of the reads Frank made were ones that most PGs in this league makes. Refreshing is best way to describe it.

That's why I like Baker too despite his obvious flaws. Dude makes the correct read and gets to the guy in the right spot. If he ever finds his shooting from college, he could be a hell of a 5th guard. He was 37% from 3 and 80% from the line in college. His shooting in the NBA is like he just lifted weights.

It's sexy asf when Frank helps contest in the paint after a switch or a rotation, when he goes straight up he's got PF length!

I just caught the highlights, but i also liked how KP made a concentrated effort to go to the rim out of isolation and finish strong. He's looking great.

Phil had Melo, that's why he signed vets. Two tracks.

Anyway, whatever but he picked three good young players. When did we do that last? The 70's?

Lee
Nate
Chandler
Gallo


This isn’t new.

Don't forget Frye. Still thought we gave up on him way too soon. Had a great rookie year and a sophmore slump and we sold him off. Never became a great player but he's had lasting power.

KP going to be an easy shoe in for All Star this year.

Probably a starter at this rate. Dude has been unstoppable despite the poor spacing provided and the mediocre PG play.

edit: you're right

rules changed this year. Whoever wins the votes from the East and West get to choose who is on their team. AKA KP will only get in if one of the captains wants him on the team

My understanding is that 10 starters and the reserves will all be voted in like normal. Then the 2 top vote getters will pick from that pool.

I stand corrected. You're right

Were there any quotes or anything from Kenny Atkinson? I remember after the preseason game he mentioned that he could see why we drafted Frank but I wanted to see if he had anything to say after last night. I doubt they would ask him any questions about Frank though

Part of that IMO was because Thomas had to justify the Curry trade. He forced the ball in nonstop and the opportunity for Frye shrunk.

[dakomish23]

I would love to see frank start attacking the basket once he begins to get more comfortable in this offense

And realizes just how much of an advantage he has with that wingspan. There are so many plays he could finish that most could not.

Anyone know what his vertical is?

He was never tested.

I'm talking about his versatile skillset, not athleticism.

Iggy was an elite ball handler/athlete and a terrible shooter. Frank isnt that. I dont see the comparison.

its just a flat out terrible comparison

This breaks my heart.

What's this about?

Was somebody watching the OKC game instead of the Knicks game, Fredo?

Was watching both back and forth. Problem?

Yeah and those teams pretty much had a bad stigma around too. Frye also didn't develop that three point shot until a few years later, which made him a pretty useful NBA player

yeah pretty much.

Although Iggy wasn't always a terrible shooter. He was actually pretty decent at one point, even from the FT line. But the combination of the pressure trying to replace AI and Doug Collins really made him a pretty bad shooter from the end of his run in Philly to now

Shawn Livingston???

You are wrong. Phil's team was going to be minus thjr and Melo AND MINUS KP. Plus Ryan Anderson's terrible contract and plus the garbage haul we would get for Kp. Or did all of you Phil supporters forget he was set on trading kp for missing his exit interview before Dolan stepped in and fired his was.

But keep drinking the Phil kool aid though.

Oh and I forgot PLUS a resigned Derrick Rose. Gtfo all of you with this Phil was a good POBO.

Why are you angry ? Phil’s gone anyway.

Phil investigated to trade KP in order to move up for Lonzo Ball. Then with no trade in place, he picked Frank and kept KP.
That said, nobody should or should have been be treated as untouchable. Especially guys who’s never made the all star teams.

Phil is going to be remembered for picking Porzingis and Ntilikina, whether you like it or not.

No he is not. Look at any media report after he was let go. He was ridiculed and will be remembered as a joke.

And it is funny how first it is. Oh he had a plan and stuck with it. You are showed facts against.

Then it is "well at least he got assets and our team would be this team he likes minus THjr". Then you are shown facts against that.

Now it's "oh he will be remembered for KP and Ntilikina". You want me to show you the reports after his firing? What stance will you take after that?

Just take your L like a man.

The media has zero credibility, just stop.
Phil was ridiculed for the KP pick since these dudes didnt even know who KP was on draft day, and they wanted him to pick Mudiay, Cauley Stein or Winslow.
Since then they ridiculed Phil for investigating to trade him. They’re all whole bunch of hypocrites.
The league knows better.
There’s no L to take. Phil was fired for giving Melo an NTC and not getting around that, not because of his draft picks. History will tell whether he was asked by the owner to surrender Melo that NTC during negotiations or not.
The same media would’ve been all over Phil for losing Melo in free agency, but it would have been for the good of the team.

I think it was a lot more back and not so much forth. GTFO, you were all over that game thread, talking about what Donovan was doing wrong.

Just a reminder, "Don't ever take sides against the family, Fredo."

You never know who's watching.

I’m not sure what exactly you’re trying to get at but this is ridiculous.

Are you stalking my posts? So I can’t post over there if I’m watching a tight game and have something to say about it? Should I have posted it in the Knicks/Nets GT which was pretty damn boring overall? Why are you going so hard over nothing? This is borderline harassment and you’re way too old, WAY TOO OLD for this.
